Patina.

I had a dream I was at a family event at a zoo. Then a Male Lion got out and went on a rampage. I scrambled down a bank and hid. Strange.



They let us keep our number plates at The Highlander what you can see reflected in the camera flash is what Ira Ryan would very customly,lovingly and Portlandly as a "patina of sweat and dirt". Yeah, that sounds really romantic,"Patina". There is probably some expelled energy gel/sports drink combo on that bad boy as well.

The Highlander Course was epic. I had thought I would get in at about 6 hours for my first 80km event on the SS. Trotted across in Four Fifty Four. Stoked. I didn't blow up, Hit any walls or anything.. pleasant change of pace. All I can think about now is doing longer races. SS champs and winter series next. Excuse the berevity of the post. I'm shattered.
