something new for june - double race day!

Yesterday I did a lot of things I have never done before - successfully hailed a cab, hopped a fence to get into a start corral - but the most exciting thing was 2 races in one day!

You may be thinking, what's so difficult about this?  And how is this NOT different from the Ragnar relay you did last weekend?

Conclusion:  You are right.  It's not so different at all.

Consider the similarities:
1.  I drove a really long way to run my first race.  My 2nd race was in my hometown.
2.  I had about 13.5 hours in between races, slightly more than the time between my Ragnar legs.
3.  My first race was HOT.  Immediately after finishing, I changed my clothes and stuffed my face full of food.
4.  I got *maybe* an hour's nap in between races.
5.  My 2nd race was at night, and I wore a headlamp.  And glo sticks.  (I was very, very grateful for the headlamp!)

2nd conslusion:  Double race day was a piece of cake.  Race reports to follow.
