That is awsome! i know what its like to push yourself to a physical level and the personal satifaction you get from it..im not a runner type,more on the anarobic side..national bodybuilding/weightlifting...won some.. lost a lot! but i do know when i included cardio in my training to loss bodyfat, i suffered more on the road runs and mt bike rides than i ever did under a loaded squat rack or bench press!... congrats on your event and hope you keep beating yourself in future meets!!

I used to live downvalley from Aspen in Woody Creek, neighbor to the good Doctor Thompson, and semi-regular at the Woody Creek Tavern. I had the Roaring Fork River 30 ft. out my back door, and dodged deer on my way home every night. I worked two restaurant jobs in Snomass - 7 days a week at CeCe's Point of View on Sam's Knob, 5 days a week at Hite's in Snowmass Village. I got to ski from job to job EVERY DAY! (and on breaks!). I sold a '72 Targa to go "find myself". Made great friends, skiied and worked my butt off, proposed to my beloved Patti, and had a blast.
It took about 4 weeks for this flatlander to acclimatize, and when I came home, I felt like Superman. 17 years later, I feel more like Lex's chubby henchman. (Ned Beatty?? ooohh no)
...need more mountains...
