3 Ali October 12, 2009 at 8:41 am: That is a great video! I love Derek’s comment at the end, “They don’t just give these away to anyone, you have to earn it.” Very true! He earned it! He was lucky to have you right next to him 🙂
4 Evan Thomas October 12, 2009 at 8:48 am: Woohoo! Fun race. He’s right though, 6:30 is way too flippin’ early haha
