Rocky Raccoon - 2009

I'll post a full report in the next few days but I wanted to let everybody know I had a great day at Rocky and managed to pull out the win in 15:58. Scott Jaime made me earn it (he was 2:30 behind with four miles to go) and Jamie Donaldson ran an outstanding race for third overall and top woman.

The new course is a bit slower. Not necessarily harder (it is Huntsville State Park after all!) but the addition of more single track and the elimination of all but a handful of road sections slowed the course somewhat.

All in all, a really fun day! More later.

Congratulations on a GREAT race! You were running really strong during the entire race and looked like you were having just as much fun as I was having (less the camera:-)

Congrats Andy ! It was great to see you on the trails....and thank you for being supportive of my goal out there. It really helped me to hear you ask me if I would make my goal time - really put the pressure on me to pick it up.

Congrats again on a great race !

Congrats, again, Andy!

I was great getting to pace you the last 20 miles. And, see you put the hammer down near the end to secure the win. Awesome!
