Green Racen'

Man was this ever a great Green Race year! Records were blown out of the water, over 170 people competed, tons of new racers gave it a go, and the weather and flow were perfect. To start out, being in Boone, NC this fall without a car hasn't given me alot time to train so I was little nervous when I pulled up to the put-in on friday for my first run in five months, as it happen pre-race run did not turn out so well so I was even more nervous when I rolled up saturday for the race, hoping I had the bad runs behind me I shouldered my boat and hiked down to the put-in.

In the end I came out with decent time of 5:18 ( which I think is not to shabby considering I ran the Green twice in 5 months). Big thanks to every one who helped put on the Green Race an organize it, Thanks to Chris Bell for juristically simplifying the registration, and also to the timers (we couldn't function without you). Finally, thank you Sam Silvey for taking rock awesome pictures of everybody, all of you should check out his website www.SamSilvey.com for some killer shots. Hope to see everybody next year, until then....

peace and good lines,
