Treadmill Run

Worked, flew out on a red eye, drove to the race.

Wow. Almost perfect. 

Took 2nd overall by 1 second. Or... I missed 1st and the CR by 1 second.

Sam and I went out from the gun. I took the lead but I only had a stride or so lead. The terrain was pine needle covered dirt, some rocks, pleanty of grass. The route: single track, double track, wide grassy track through twisty turns, and up and down hills on rock covered traill. I ran uptempo and unrelenting. I had the lead but Sam was always within a stride. Several times on straightaways he would pass and take the lead only to have me repass him. Neither of us could drop the other. 

The miles ticked by. We both tried repeatidly to drop the other and take a commanding lead. Neither of us could.

With 1/2 mile to go I surged. Sam stayed. 1/4 mile I surged. He stayed. Then 100 feet to go we both surged again. He took the lead and beat me by 1 second. What a great race.
