Fat Tire Festival: The Results are In
After learning last night that some folks have actually been checking out my training posts here, I guess a quick mention of how it went is in store! The best assessment might be the look on our faces in these photos:

As it turns out, the training time I put in this year paid off: I finished the sport class race in 52 minutes, 20 seconds – an improvement over last year’s time over almost 19 minutes! In all, it was a fantastically fun race, and it set the bar for how hard I can push myself. Jason showed some time improvement, too – he clocked in at 47:30, shaving several minutes of his 2009 time.
