Nevermind that it was probably an easy taper 12k run for her. I'm still very happy with my 6:19 pace over the 12k leg...which actually turned out to be 12.2k. |

I think I'd be more inclined to let her lead slightly and follow her the whole race to help me um pace better. ;-) |

Extreme Veteran 569 Austin, TX | Subject: RE: I toed the start line with Des Ficker this Sunday We started together (1st row) but I didn't wait for her. I figured she'd be passing me soon enough anyway. She was wearing regular running shorts - not those. If she had been wearing those, I may have shuffled over and slid into the 2nd starting row behind her.  |

Probably good I didn't know, I would have made a a$$ of myself asking for her autograph/getting pic etc...or following her around with borderline stalking behavior. |

Extreme Veteran 569 Austin, TX | Subject: RE: I toed the start line with Des Ficker this Sunday Beat her by about 2 minutes I think (guess). I had time to hand off the timing chip, walk over to the water/food chute, grab a water and gatorade, rest by the fence for a little bit, then grab a bagel and banana. I saw her finishing as I was making my way to my team's tent. Can't seem to find her team's times in the results to confirm though. |
