This picture is over 20 years old. It's amazing how much the place has changed.
Tomorrow will be my "taper," and on Saturday I'm going to try and beat my 4 mile PR (from this past August) of 25:28. It's really going to be tough, I think, as that PR was set on a downhill course, and RA is anything but flat/downhill. In fact, the final .25 miles will be up the steepest hill on the course:
Yikes.
Being the son of an avid (read:RABID) racing fan, I have been going to RA as long as I can remember. It'll be neat to see the track at a slightly slower speed. To get an idea of the track, I've added two videos from RA. The first is on a motorcycle, hitting 170 mph, and the second is from a really bad crash two years ago (she was ok, as you'll see.) Am I a hacker, or what?! :)

UHHHHH, didn't you just do something like 30 miles???? Holy crap.
Have fun, but don't get too disappointed if you don't make the PR. :)
LOL I was thinking the same thing as Nancy! Wowzer!
Holy crap, 4 miles in 25 minutes? Are you secretly Flash Gordon?
You are a running maniac! How many miles did you run this last month? Anyway, I'm in awe of your dedication to the sport. I hope I can put in as miles after my marathon as you are doing now. Anyway, good luck and have fun chasing your PR!
