Seriously! And a course PR is always sweet! Love my course PRs. I don't have any halfs that I do locally, though, LOL!<br /><br />I can't use HS chews when it's cold; they get too hard. Never tried to swallow them whole.<br /><br />Those wood bridges are always darn slippery!<br /><br />Great job, Kim, you are absolutely going out on a high note & glad you got this redemption from the bad weather for MCM. My race this weekend (if I do it!) will probably be the first really cold (as in must wear gloves) race of the season.
