STAGE 2-done


Tried my best to recover from Friday's race. Probably could have done a better job but woke up Saturday morning feeling better than when I went to sleep. Stage 2 is only 18 miles and I've been on this course many times. I knew what I wanted time wise and I knew where I needed to be at each aid station. I nailed those at each one, just about down to the minute. My overall time goal was 2:30 and I came in at 2:33. So very pleased so far. I'm now in 12th overall with a couple of guys about one minute back. Hard to believe that a race 60 miles long comes down to the last day concerning my two goals:
time:sub 9:45 and top 10 overall. (the photo to the right is from Friday's creek crossing at mile 21)
My total time after two days of racing is 5 hrs 58 min 20 sec. This means I need a 3:45 tomorrow or I hope... better!!!
