Seven Nation Army

Quick update from Manchester before I get some Turkey. Round two as I’ve already celebrated Canuck Thanksgiving in early October.

Beautiful day, 16 C (61F) and sunny so I thought everybody would run fast.  It wasn’t really the case though as the race strung out before the 3 mile mark and almost everybody was running alone.  I was about 15th at the 2 mile mark and Fagan was way ahead in first, he killed it up the hill and gapped the pack.  I picked off a few guys on the downhill before the 3 mile mark and then just went through the motions in 9th until 100 to go when I passed Ryan Warrenburg and Michael Aish to get 7th in 22:18 (22:14 in 2005, 22:04 in 2006).  Fagan got passed at the end by Letherby who won in 21:54.  Once again a fun time in Manchester.  Scalped Frank Shorter again, boooyah!
