Started out early got up at 6:00am too nervous to sleep. Peed and poop 1000x. Met everybody downstairs for breakfast at 7:00. After breakfast Peed and Pooped 100x more. Then off to the start line it was 80 degrees not happy. But we were with all of our new friends and everyone was anxious to get it started. The Race started at 10:00. George and I started off on our quest. It was supposed to be an easy run 12.9 miles. NOT that easy. We finished in about 2 1/2 hrs. I think the altitude killed me and it seem like it was all UPHILL all the way.
Have felt better...but hope to come back strong tomorrow. We have to climb to 12,500. Off too dinner.George: For those of us that know and love Fred, let me simply say that his colon is problematic. We all know the rest of the story.
Well, the news flash of today is the temperature... it's too hot for this insanity and we are hoping for a tornado tonight to change the air pressure in the rocky mountains. Nonetheless, we did okay today... no major tactical errors, but there were spots that we could have went a bit slower. Paulie, we took a sugar tablet when we were feeling crappy and I think it helped.... even if it didn't, we think it did... so mission accomplished.
Tomorrow will be a unique day.... signficicant 3 mile clime to 1250 feet and then a long descent. We can do it, because after all.... this is a VISION QUEST !
Until tomorrow.

The clock shows 14 seconds gone and you are still standing there posing like Manny Ramirez!! Get Moving!
Sounds like you are not carrying any excess internal weight, so I guess you have that going for you!!
Run Straight, stretch late, NO SPRINTING!
