Another great race. :D

I think one of the things I loved about this race report was the great family support. I thought it was neat that your Mom knew what to "not" tell you.

And I'm totally impressed that Bridie went out to get your pre-race pasta for you. An extra bunny for her :D :D

According to McMillan he would have placed third at the RY ,isn't that hilarious!! So would Magoo, the winner. No mention on Marathonguide.com though.

Super race, Rob. You certainly know how to earn your PBs. Maybe some orange Koolaid would have got you first place???

I've been waiting for a chance to read this, and it was a great read, man. You always run a good race, but this was just freaking stellar. You astound me, sir. Congratulations on a spectacular run!

And congrats to you and Bridie on your newly-expected baby!
