When he finished his lap, a 56 minute mind you, our lead was extended to 28 minutes. Our victory was all but assured. I went out, and if I soft pedaled I could let Lweb skip her last lap. Yeah, that would be the nice thing to do. Hell I even thought of hanging out by the creek until 11:59 and to get her hopes up high that I won’t make it, and send her out.

But you know, like I said that sun does funny things, and I love this course, it is so much fun. I pulled out everything I had. That final lap for me was my best. I rolled in at 11:30 and sent Lauri out to finish it all up. Lauri did our 13th lap, which was the number of laps each winning team did except for the open duo who did 14.
