Matt Carpenter is a freakin' legend of mountain running - his name is all over the Pikes Peak record book. I can't believe he's still getting it done at an advanced age (meaning, anything older than me). <BR/><BR/>Great way to finish the year.Donaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13588564145315857856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19376369.post-61361163606773105992008-12-10T22:27:00.000-08:002008-12-10T22:27:00.000-08:00Great finish and what a nice way to finish out the...Great finish and what a nice way to finish out the year!Stuarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16841289199998319545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19376369.post-46996286941383051332008-12-08T16:32:00.000-08:002008-12-08T16:32:00.000-08:00sweet =]sweet =]Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19376369.post-53470751693949586642008-12-08T06:37:00.000-08:002008-12-08T06:37:00.000-08:00Rick,Congrats on a great year.

You did awesome! I agree with you on the tie-breaker next year for Matt and Uli, I hope it happens. Hard to believe they run 50 miles that fast (at least it's hard for me to believe). <BR/><BR/>Enjoy a little rest and recuperation. And I hope to see you at more races next year!Andy B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16664127846386455194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19376369.post-91951267746840714862008-12-07T18:35:00.000-08:002008-12-07T18:35:00.000-08:00Great way to end the year on the trails.

Aaaah. I miss it already. I want to line up again and run for hours that tick off like minutes and feel pain and fatigue and find a second wind and run like it's the first 6 miles when it's the last 3 and cruise into the finish line to see friends, old and new. Where to next? I'm jonesing. Nice job, btw.
