ML, correct - no honkin' beer steins at focus groups, but there are TONS of m&m's! Not the same obviously, and would never be part of my amzof recovery regime. It's beer or bust! Great job on Sunday, and obviously, we'll be rooting for you in July in the ADK's.
JM...funny you should refer to me as a goddess. I was on the subway today and saw an ad showing Lady Gaga (funny, I've never typed her stage name...feels weird) all drenched in blood and had the word "goddess" above her picture. I laughed and thought - she's gonna have to venture out on a 4th freakin' loop of the Amzof run course to assume that title and sleep well at night. I don't care if she's been on Oprah...

Well, my 36 oz ended up being spaced out over several hours tonight... Took longer than it should have, you might say... Not unlike my second run on Sunday.

< Note to self: More beer and more hilly trail runs >

I should explain my absence from the award ceremonies. In what was probably a somewhat befuddled state, I looked at the preliminary list of finishers and thought I saw parkito listed as finishing almost an hour ahead of me. The fact that I cannot read anything with my contacts in may have also been a cause, or maybe he was one of the finishers listed with his B2 time instead of his finishing time. In any case, thinking that I had been thoroughly trounced,


It wasn't your contacts, there was an early version of results that was incorrect. My condolences if it caused you any pain. On the other hand, I was sorely disappointed not to have finished sooner to see the look of consternation, aggravation and just all round dreams crushed angst on the faces of ChrisG and Yoda as I was "placed" ahead of them as well. Aw well, what can you do.

As far as that tree crossing, I didn't make that comment, as in fact most everyone else was complaining pretty much as well, particularly by the third loop. Pretty much every time I encountered it, my vision narrowed down as to how to get over the obstacle as it extended beyond my field of vision to both the left and right apparently to infinity (I was wearing my bifocals believe it or not), and had these protruding anti-personnel spikes extending 6 to 8 inches from the trunk at various angles, which were cleverly disguised as broken branch stubs.

We will have to meet up next year at the pavilion. I'm thinking of bringing my chain saw.

Right there, you've exposed yourself as an AmZof first timer - you're supposed to drink with 2 fists.

Any update on the splits?

I totally botched my self-timing, and want to see how things played out. Thanks!

The timer will be posting them shortly on http://www.coolrunning.com, if he has not already done so.

Still no splits on the site unless I am looking in the wrong place. Would you mind posting (or PMing) the timer's email address? I thought he was from fastfinishes.net, but that website doesn't work.

Really would like to see some splits.

Thanks

I think his e-mail is mark@fastfinishes.net

Yes ... splits would be fun to know

The ones on coolrunning.com have never been updated.
There are still some glaring errors and omissions.

And no splits yet.

PS - the Harriman races on Sat had results up Sun eve and splits by later at nite.
It ain't rocket surgery.

Thanks, I will email him and encourage others to email him as well.

Its rocket science or brain surgery. :)

Yeah ... the timing may have been the only sub-optimal aspect of AZ. Not that it takes anything away from the race but ...

Nice touch to slide a Harriman reference in here ... trying to point out that your biking is now in Gebhardt's league? Just kidding ... well done!! Especially one week after AZ! What's next? Sub 5h bike split in Lake Placid?!

Mark e-mailed the splits to our webmaster last week but our webmaster works on our site in his spare time.
Send me an e-mail at tetsuonimcgovern@gmail.com and I'll shoot you a response with what I have as an attachment.
I'm e-mailing the timer and my webmaster now requesting that the most up to date results, with splits, be posted.
Thanks.

You like how i did that? A subliminal drive-by gloating.
;-)

(just ignore the 5 minute difference in the swim splits :-p)

No sub-5 bike split in my future, but -
I *will* beat JM's time from last year.

No you won't; you've peaked.
You'll be a quivering bowl of jelly come July 24.
Maybe you should let Tyler stick his needle in your ass.

You're used to having guys stick stuff in your ass - what's that like?

PS - I'll pass. Regardless.

The only drug I'm addicted to is CRUSHING DREAMS.

First, I am impressed you were able to rally for a second consecutive weekend of racing the hills and didn't do half bad either. Not that I sat on my a$$ this weekend but I just wouldn't have expected to bring my A game six days after AmZof. Dang, once the post-race trauma kicked in on Monday afternoon, I was a zombie until Thursday.

Now, more importantly, 17seconds. Just 17 seconds between you and CG from T1 to the finish. If that's not motivation to learn how to 'float' faster, I don't what is.

Crushing Dreams is a drug. I haven't had a fix for too long.
