Not that there is anything wrong with that, especially at 71 years old, but he was a bit naughty to start in such an early wave (nominally sub-70 min runners) with no intention of jogging.<br /><br />[The photo was at the 3 mile mark (the blue mats) at which I'd taken 25 mins and he was over an hour...the whole race was spent dodging round groups of walkers who had started in earlier phases.]James Annanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04318741813895533700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9959776.post-43561992449872402822011-06-06T12:43:17.128+01:002011-06-06T12:43:17.128+01:00Just to note that the guy on crutches just behind ...Just to note that the guy on crutches just behind you also seemed to think it was a nice pace. :)Steve Bloomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12943109973917998380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9959776.post-44804947076220347652011-06-06T04:49:14.040+01:002011-06-06T04:49:14.040+01:00Well McGuckin was shut, probably along with other ...Well <a href="http://www.mcguckin.com/" rel="nofollow">McGuckin</a> was shut, probably along with other shops (this was Memorial Day, remember), the hire car had been returned, and with an 8:30am flight to look forward to (meaning leaving at 5am to get the busto Denver) we weren't really in a position for a late night extravaganza...anyway, the run just somehow seemed the thing to do. And one week later, I have mostly recovered, though we are suffering from a worrying enthusiasm for doing something similar again :-)James Annanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04318741813895533700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9959776.post-39760071641281426352011-06-05T02:58:18.434+01:002011-06-05T02:58:18.434+01:00There are quite a few good bars, this much I know....There are quite a few good bars, this much I know....Rattus Norvegicushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03449457204330125792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9959776.post-31259088392175590122011-06-04T23:37:23.215+01:002011-06-04T23:37:23.215+01:00Uh, there are actually quite a number of interesti...Uh, there are actually quite a number of interesting things to do in Boulder which don't requite streneous excercise at altitude.David B.
