Benn doing alot of training lately. The boys and myself raced in the Poker Run adv race in greenville,sc a few weekends ago. We actually were in position for the overall win but missed a CP in the orienteering. Overall we raced very well. The race started off with a run, swim, run, special test, bike, swim, bike,run (orienteering) bike, special test, bike. Alot of change was good. We had the second overall fastest time, i think we ended 7th overall. This was our first race with Mills, stover and myself. I am pretty satisfied with how we worked together during the race. Since then training has picked up. Alot of running!!! I've got my eye on a few trail runs and maybe a ultra this fall. But well see how the foot does. On sunday stover, dewey and myself did a paddle, bike and run. We got in about 3.5 hours of training which felt real good. I think dewey has got the AR bug....Today defur and I knocked off a 1:40 min run at haw ridge. We did most of the ultra course. Defur is going to step up and do the 55K, i'm not sure yet, maybe the stump jump 50K in october. We've got a few more Adv Races lined up this year. So it should be a busy fall, then top it all off with the 12 hours of hill of truth. I need to get in some longer rides if going solo. Maybe I will take this race seriuos this year and not start drinking before the race....Damn you J murray!!!
