You ever have something happen, and you gotta go, you know, it was really nobody's fault.
Well, if that's true than yesterday I was nobody! I screwed everyone at the John Holmes 50K, I was supposed to guide them onto the trail a mere 1 mile in to the race. I goofed. I couldn't find the trail. But to be fair; it is a trail I've only run 179 times run before. It's the blue trail not like the Orange trail that I've run 714 times, that one I could have found.
No excuses, I messed up! Boy did I feel like a ________________!

I thought it was great...I was the only one who found it and wound up being in first place for almost 2 miles...that's something that NEVER happens to me in a race. Thanks Aman!!!
Ah, the Chase Squires School of Ultrarunning. You weren't following Margot and Becky, by any chance?
Chase - The Professor doesn't follow girls in races (except after mile 2 when they all passed me).
Some people claim, there's a woman to blame. You weren't wastin' away in Margaritaville, were you, Ange?
No sir, to that point I had had no Margaritas.
Prof, awfully nice of you to help us out and point that trail out to everyone else!
You what's funny? When we Milers ran by you (having no idea you were a JERK) I said to you:
"You're pointing us the right way, right Andy?"
The girl behind me said:
"OMG! Is he pointing people the wrong way???"
I just laughed...especially when I fininshed 5 minutes before her :) Thanks, Aman!
(I must not be awake yet...there's a lot of mispelled words in there). Oh well, I'm off to the pool...
