interesting week... we totaled the car outside wamsutter wyoming at 10PM sunday night after a deer jumped in front of the car out of nowhere while my daughter was driving. nobody hurt but a big hassle as car was trashed and had to do some major logistical maneuvers... finally  made it to madison, did an overnight canoe trip down the wisconsin river and got caught in an unbelievable  lightning/thunderstorm while camping on a sandbar. got drenched but survived that too.  my running for the week was pretty shot but I'll call it a good taper for a great race- the madison mini. awesome weather, 53 degrees at start, beautiful course around the capital, lake wingra, arboretum, and back through UW to the union on lakeshore trail- this is as good as it gets. was looking forward to meeting hamdog but we never found each other, bummer. anyway I originally was going to push this race and shoot for 1:22 but I decided friday night that I was too wiped out to run anything but a 6:20 pace so I adjusted my target time to 1:24. Last year that would have won the 50-54 easily, but this year there was some fast guy who tore up the course in 1:19. I never had a chance. had a great time though, really enjoyed the course and running through familiar sights from my hometown. my garmin says the course was 0.1 miles long but who cares. left after the race loaded the family and now am in Kearney nebraska at the holiday inn water park.

Nice job nailing your adjusted goal pace Scott! What a week of adventure. I will be in your stomping grounds next Saturday. I am pacing for Walter. I hope your body behaved and let's you continue on to St. George.

Nicely done! Training while traveling is impossible. Especially when lightning strikes.

Glad no one was hurt.

Congrats on a nice race amongst craziness. See you Friday.
