encouragement.<br />
Last time at Beer Head it was snowing and I nearly collapsed, saved by a<br />
fellow runner giving me a push and friendly word. This time I was warm and<br />
positive and ran fast all the way down to Beer. At the uphill section I caught<br />
some of the Cub runners who were really friendly and nice.<br />
Finally downhill to the finish and I really pushed on (it felt fast). I could see a<br />
few more people in front I was catching; I could not go faster though. I<br />
enjoyed the finish and the massive cheer even if I did not catch the next<br />
runner. Wave to the wife and pose while I was finishing 10th by far my best<br />
ever run at the Grizzly but did not feel like I had tried as hard as before.<br />
Sometimes the race does come together even though I did not expect it.<br />
What a great race though, great support and bands and views and…. How<br />
did I do so well? I wish I knew.<br />
