Hood to Coast 2009 - Live-Blogging #10
My last leg- 5.77 mi in 41:11 and a net of 15 road kills - I was passed by 5 freakish immortals specially bred for running. Gazelle genes?

- I try to be awake, and if I can manage that, to be reasonable. "With any other man I should have flown outright into a dreadful passion, scorned all further words, and thrust him ignominiously from my presence. But there was something about Bartleby that not only strangely disarmed me, but in a wonderful manner touched and disconcerted me. I began to reason with him."

Ha! Now you know what it feels like for us mere mortals when you go speeding past us. The sight of those uber-runners sprinting up the leg 29 hill made me want to cry.
Seen it, done it, got the t-shirt, not doing it again. Ever.
PS - I only got passed by 3 "gazelles" (aha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-cough).
Paul, duh! Leg 29?!!? You got "Hood to Coasted" in a very brutal way -- I'm sure your teammates thought it was hilarious to give the new guy the leg five assignment, but don't lose hope. Leg 5 is a monster. None of them are easy, but leg 5 is a special kind of torture made for vain, reckless, glory-seeking, damnably handsome weirdos like myself.
