(Official distance: 26.4.) Wow, I was quite surprised at my time here. Felt like a good race. PW by a large margin. Oh yeah, 3,790' gain/loss. Perfect weather, beautiful course! |

Colder than last year; had to break out the long sleeves. No carb drink, only Ultima = light headed by 18. Still, first sub-3:10 since Foot Traffic. Closing out the year on a high note.
9 BQs for the year, 10 if you count the one for 2011. |

Renamed the "Dean Karnazes" SVM, but Dean didn't run it. Great weather, not as flat as advertised, but Ultima as the "sports drink" gets a huge thumbs down. Went out too fast, but still BQed, so it's OK. |

Great weather, fast course... tried to break 4, didn't quite. 3:00 at aid stations + 4:00 in the trees just a bit too much to make up. Beat the old master's record by almost an hour, but #1 beat it by more. |

3rd big positive split in a row; oops. Legs not recovered from past 2 weeks, I guess. I was not having fun after the half. But then I helped a guy pull in a BQ at the end; that made it worthwhile. |
