Congrats Mr. French!!!! 2:21:28, well done! How'd you like the course (tunnel and bridge) and what'd you think of the weather?
No Mike Smith listed under 3 hours...hmmmmmm?

Thanks! Weather wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. Any headwind was chilly and I didn't shed any clothing, but it felt very comfortable once I got going. I liked the course for the most part. Thought the bridge was tougher than the tunnel (actually really liked the tunnel). The only part I didn't particularly like was the river walk at the end. After 24 miles, all those turns are tough.

Well good job and well done at Vandy as well. Come back next year and break 2:20! You won $2000 for 2nd place, right? Not too shabby;)

Good job! I only saw you coming out of the tunnel but I missed the finish, was out running in a friend. Well done on a very cold day in mid October. You did awesome and I too am glad you got some prize money!
