I know it taught me a good lesson last Tuesday evening.<BR/>On the first sprint I was in the back of the pack and worked my way up and eventually finished near the front (I think I was 4th or 5th). So on the second sprint I was pretty confident I would be 1st or 2nd! Turns out I was wrong. I took off at the whistle and ran out of gas about half way through...I ended getting passed by everyone. I think a jogger even around me! But at least I learned a little about pacing myself (and also humility). Hope to see y'all again next week!Greghttp://avoiceinthewoods.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6859413061327922831.post-40007167136602008272009-04-01T09:56:00.000-04:002009-04-01T09:56:00.000-04:00"As we crossed Reedy Fork / Mckittrick road, a gro..."As we crossed Reedy Fork / Mckittrick road, a group of three came flying past us. They announced "The group behind you has caught you". My response - "you're going too fast then!" - but, that's a subject for another blog.
