times and disappointment 
Well, I just checked the Gorge Marathon site to see if results were posted, and they were.
Here are the stats. There were 62 marathoners and 125 half-marathoners that finished. I finished last (as I knew), coming in at 8:48:01.0, with a 20:09/M pace.
At Portland, I came in at 8:56:49, 20:28 pace, so I did PR. Dude, I did this monster marathon, and I PRed. Not by much, but hey! A PR is a PR.
So, I obviously have Stockholm Syndrome, because I really want to go back and do this marathon again (just, umm, not this weekend). And I had said as much to sweetie, and was scheming on who I could pull in on this, and then I read this:
Thank you participants, sponsors and volunteers for eight unbelievable years. We are not planning on returning in 2006
Man! Man!! Sheesh!

Well, since it won't be there next year, I guess that means you have to find a new challenge!

Congrats on the PR, VJ. And bummer that this was the final race for there. But look at it this way, were the last person ever to run this race. You should get some special award or something.
