Granogue and Wiss...

Okay. I knew this was gonna be a hard weekend. Last year this weekend was the beginning of the end for my back. I’m happy to report that I’m feeling quite well thank you.

Tom McDaniel is the genius behind the granogue race. He does a great job. I try to help him with as much of the course stuff as I can. I love that he’ll give me a section and let me set it up he just says, “go make that cool”. I love that he trusts me with sections of his baby. The Island before the final drag race up the road, yup, that’s mine. The turn at the pine tree, me too. The island was tough this year, once we knew we were getting rain Switched it up. So if you stacked on the island, sorry, I tried to make it flow the best I could. I take great enjoyment in watching Tom during the race, there’s no stress, just a smile from ear to ear as he watches his vision come to life. That being said, trying to help run a race and race is very hard. Something about being there before dawn, and then after the pro men, running up a hill to drag step stakes and yellow tape to the road, that just changes your normal race routine.

nice jerb Marc. somehow I still had last year's island before the pavement in my head, and I almost ran into the tape each time. I wanted to make a right immediately after the dip onto the pavement.
