Sweet race Dan! You make it sound easy, but I guess that's a testament to
your training and race experience. Your report didn't convey suffering, your
own or others. Hell, I guess if you run 10k vertical per week that's no big
deal. (ski lift? you mean you didn't run down the whole way?)

Truth be told, I probably sandbagged it a bit. I only ran fast enough to
win my AG based on last year's performances. I want to get in a few more
solid training weeks with speedwork before the fall, and racing too hard
over longer distances will mess that up...

I consider hill races to be easier than flat races, for some odd
reason...and no, I didn't run the last 3.5 miles down -- with 2.5 mile
warmup, 7 mile race and 3.5 mile jog to the lift, I figure I got enough of a
workout for the day.
