moving up

i got 4th place in the race i ran on saturday, which is the best i've
ever finished.

it was only 20k, and i didn't push very hard because i'm tapering for
a big race on this coming saturday, so i'm pretty pleased with how i
did. (i'm especially pleased that i was 45 seconds per mile faster
than i was when i did the same race last year).

one of the most fun parts (other than the stunning views out over the
coast) was flying downhill on the pretty techicnical last few miles,
solidly in the groove, and only stumbling once.
