HARRA Cross Country Relay Race Report
Hmmm ... this report might be a work in progress!
However, the best line of the evening came from HARRA Membership Director Erin Foley, while we were working and manning the HARRA tent together. I'm not even sure who came up and said "Hi!" and she said, "You really do know everybody, don't you?"
No, of course not; however, I'm blessed to have a lot of friends and acquaintances.
The other good one came from HARRA president Anna Sumrall Helm. She said something to the effect of "How many races do you do in a year? 100?" I told her I did 61 one year, but I quickly remarked that this was the second weekend in a row that I didn't race. And actually, it will be three in a row next week as I'll be staying in Whistler, British Columbia (for work). Anna is coming back off of an injury and was doing her first since the spring.
(Note: I had thought about going to Dallas in the morning to do a 20K; however, I'll get in 12 miles in the morning with fellow HRBers.)
Seriously, I saw sooooo many people that I know. If I tried to mention everyone that I talked to, I might miss somebody! I'm just continuely amazed at the respect that people continue to grant me. I appreciate it. :)
More later!

And it was nice to see you too, Jon, twice in 12 hours, no less.
It should be noted that my "injury" was a broken toe (I tripped over my cat), and not from overtraining. I really try to avoid that. :-)
Great to see you there, Jon!
