Glad to hear that the weathermen in your part of the world are no better than here in the States.

27:27, what a tremendous time! Way to go!

I'm quite flattered to see the faith you guys have in me. I'll tell you I had one or two doubts myself! It was an absolute blast! Go and read Marshmallow's report to see some funny videos from the event. AndrewEs last blog post..Weigh-in and second best is great!

I love the movies that you took and Marshmallow shared on her site. Between those and both your commentaries, I feel like I was there cheering you both on! Great job both of you! Bravos all around!

It was pretty crazy, huh? I’m sure that the weather turned out that crappy because I had entered, hah!

I’m sure that something was slightly wrong with our heads that enabled us to get out there and do that race Funnily enough, it’s one imperfection that I don’t mind

Great race report, Andrew.

Congrats on getting out there in the weather and completing the race! You’re an inspiration, dude!

Well done, Andrew! All those unexpected hills that have crept up on your runs really paid off!

Yay! Awesome job for getting out there and doing it!! It sounds like a great run. I ran outdoors again today and found myself completely overwhelmed by the hills in my neighborhood. Do you have any advice or tips that you used in your hill training? I am fairly certain that my next 5k is going to be very hilly so I want to be prepared. I like the term "pace bunny"... I had a couple of those in my first 5k and I was also excited when I had passed them at the end. Glad I'm not the only one who thinks so competitively! Julies last blog post..Weekend Wisdom

Your attitude is awesome. I'm fired up to do my long run tomorrow, rain or shine. (I do hope for shine, of course.) Andrew Ds last blog post..Best Public Speaking Articles: Weekly Review [2008-06-21]

Way to go, especially in that weather. But I kind of knew you wouldn't pull out. You're too much into this. Great work!! Bill Wallaces last blog post..Day 76 - Perth City to Surf (Well, Almost!)

I think you earned at least two victories – one over the weather, and one over those hills. Well done!

Good stuff Andrew! Sounds like you had a better race than me. Glad you had a good finish. The finish was the highlight of my morning.

That downhill was treacherous all right !
