06.20.05 - victory at big bear

hola sologoat fans!

i greet you with news of a fantastic nature - a victory at big bear.

here is the short of it:

hendershot, cameron and myself went out hot. i thought they were going too slow, so i picked it up after about 4 miles into it. cameron either had light problems or was not feeling good because i passed him at about 3am as he was sitting at water stop about 9 miles in talking to somebody about his lights, and he didn't even notice that i had passed him. i then caught mark at about 6am'ish after my dad and mechanic saw him puking for 3 minutes straight on the previous lap. he looked white as a ghost when i passed him and he was sweating like a maniac. he didn't look good. next lap, i was informed that cameron had stopped and that hendershot pulled out. after that, i just kind of cruised through the rocks and went hard on the climbs as i was just trying to stay upright and not do anything silly considering i was a lap up on the rest of the field.

that's the short version - a more detailed version will be posted within the next day.

gotta run - need to unpack and respond back to a ton of emails
