:::deep breath:::

I'm about 98% sure I'm gonna make the course from my first marathon my bitch in May. www.ftcollinsmarathon.com It's close, so it's my cheapest option. I won't have the altitude bonus working for me, but I'll have that downhill working for me (along with race experience). One semi-bad experience on a course doesn't mean anything, right? I can train for the downhill into flat, right? I can BQ here, right? I've got to pull the trigger soon...it's filling up fast.

I can do this, right?

Yep! I live in the town next door.

And I may have been to NB a time or two...or more.

You'll do great - its downhill...

Just don't forget to train for downhill or you're legs with hate your guts!

That race was actually on my agenda this year, until I realized the Collegiate Peaks 25M was the day before. I'm crazy, but not that crazy. I don't think...

Do you know what I would have to run?!? Like a one hour marathon. The races start at the same time and you get a 13 mile head start.

However, I fully expect you to wait for me and cheer me down Mountain.
