great Twin Lakes: The Scenic Route 5.81 mi 00:54 09:22 pace
Tour de Gunbarrel today with Sarah. Perfect running weather: sun shining and cool breeze. Got an outside tour of Sarah's parents new house, and talked Bolder Boulder. Nice way to break up the day.

Nice running with Sarah today Jen!

Your title got me excited, but alas, you were not referencing Twin Lakes in Leadville! That doesn't dimish your efforts on this wonderful sounding run!

The course was truly amazing! I would definitely recommend putting it on your list of marathon races, though I hear we got lucky with having no rain! The funny thing about the times - I had no breathing difficulties - wasn't even breathing hard... in the end, it was the mileage that bit me. My legs just started cramping and I couldn't get them to move any faster. Dave - I think you were right about high mileage training...

Stunning result! INCREDIBLE! Jen you are truly AMAZING! What a performance! And here I was trying to convince you at dinner to go for sub 3:10 instead of your 3:15 plan. And then you didn't listen to me again :-) at the start when I told you to have a great race, you went out and blew away great! A 3:03 and a 1:27 half, just WOW! I didn't know I was eating my pre-race dinner with one of the elites. So great meeting you guys and then being able to hear about this phenomenal accomplishment!
