bsr race weekend, #2
1. aaaah! i only knocked 4 minutes off last year's time! forgiveable, but in *training* i've knocked off more than 10! what happened??
2. lots of last-minute drop-outs. totally understandable in all cases, but i hope one day we can all run together.
3. bob is amazing. a) another incredible pre-race dinner. so generous, so good. b) he ran 7:02-7:05 splits the *whole way*. if he trains for it, i bet he can clock in at about an hour next year. at 48! like i said: amazing!
4. klaus & beth = so good. i hope they continue to come out for this every year. oh: i passed on vs' suggestion of Horizons, and they had themselves a really, *really* good dinner. delicious! i am so glad.
5. oh, speaking of vs: i kicked off race weekend by walking into his house to find that he'd already started cooking-- there was very little left for me to do. he'd made the seitan cutlets, the mashed potatoes & was just about through w/ the corn gravy & cutlet glaze-- all i was able to contribute was a little onion/garlic prep & dishwashing. amazing. we ate, we hung out w/ his mooney friend who was all a-glow from meeting his idol, then met up with another friend & his gf to see a movie that turned out to be so bad, we came back and eventually fell asleep and this is what i really wanted to tell you: for the first time in my life, i fell asleep w/ a man whose hands smelled more strongly of cooking than my own. i guess all this is to say: i maybe was not well-rested by the time race day came around, but i was well-fed and very, very happy.
