Holy memories of SGM monsoon Batman!!!  We woke up about a half hour later than usual cause neither Meg or I slept real good last night.  So as it turns out we got up just in time to catch the brunt of the rain coming through town.  Conditions were exactly like SGM.  Wind out of the south, plenty of rain, chaffing nipples, 60 degrees and soaked to the bone.  Luckly we only had to spend 45 minutes in it.  Was worried about the Garmin crapping out again in the rain so I kept it covered up with my long sleeve shirt and wasn't able to monitor my paces.  It was interesting to see that my last couple of miles, when the rain was it it's worst, were my fastest miles at just under 8:00/mile.  I think I was wanting to be done by then and was pushing a little bit.  We are headed for St. George this weekend to spend Thanksgiving with my family.  Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving and nice long weekend.

Time:  41:24  8:17/mile
