Up and back from the pool by 0545, then took the dog for a walk around the block, now it is time for breakfast and unfortunately I will have to go to work again shortly.  Have a CT ride later tonight.  Nope, the CT ride is just not going to happen.  My legs are just too tight and my body is beginning to sht down for some much needed "sleep" mode.  Going to save the energy and get back out there first thing in the morning with my scheduled run.

First group Most of photos have been posted.  Many Few more to come, but I am waiting on them to be emailed from my friend Dale who took them during the race.

Race Report is done...now I am working on the pics!!!

Just got back from Chattanooga.  I am going to spend some quality time with Champ and then I will get to the race report.

Well the goal was 2:45 and the final results say 2:45:56...guess I should have been a bit more specific.  Overall good race...I had a great time.  The numerous stairs and hills on the run made this course quite difficult.  Race report to be posted shortly.

It was only my second OLY, but it was a PR as I beat my previous OLY time from two months ago by 7 minutes!!!

Nice easy relaxing day enjoying the birthday (38) out on the lake here in Chattanooga.  Then it was off to packet pickup for the OLY tomorrow.  Met Chris x2 (Cbost & Trigods) and Renee (RRizzo) for dinner.  Now it is time to get ready for the race tomorrow.

Thanks for the notes and phonecalls of birthday wishes.  You guys are great!
