A bit surprisingly I ended up coming in fifth, which got me a medal, shown above. This is the first time I&#8217;ve received any medal in a race since some of the <a href=\"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/2009\/05\/19\/second-place-twice\/\">Lake Orion High School weeknight races<\/a> three years back. These are pretty nice medals. There is a sticker on the back which lists the race, class, and place.<\/p>\n<p>This was a really fun race. It was somewhat hot, humid, and a bit dusty, but it was fun. Everyone that I encountered was really courteous and good about passing and being passed, the course was a good length without having an irritating extra short\/steep sledding hill at the end. My official time ended up being 1:50:55.399 with laps of 35:49.943, 37:46.442, and 37:19.014. Only once did I almost throw up, but I was able to get that under control and keep going without any problems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today was Tailwind Racing&#8217;s Stony End of Summer Classic race, and I found myself competing in it.
