Hey your picture doesn't have the logo across the front like Andy's always does. That is a great race with a negative split. Your half time looks solid for a 3:50 finish or less at Hamilton. Mcmillan would suggest faster but doubling the half time and adding 15 minutes is a solid target. Congrats again!!!

Awesome work as a bunny, Andy. People might think you have done it before.

Joe took that photo. The race had it's own photographers, but I don't know who they were, and their photos aren't online yet.

Yes, Zoomphoto follows me around. I'm just that good ;)

Ever so humble, is she...

Not to mention having your own Official Personal Bunny who shielded you from the wind and gave you chews during the race... Ha!!! :)

Damn straight. Re: race photo. I think that by now Joe knows how to stay out of the dog house. Ha ha!

Congrats Jes on an amazing 1/2m PB. Wow. It was well-paced and executed perfectly, I'd say. It sounds like you're really fine-tuning your training now that you've been working so hard with ZRC and K2J for a few years now. Things are looking good for Hamilton!
