This was one of my rare loses to Steve Peterson (Petey)
July
2005:
Since the fourth of July
was open (Chelmsford race was on July 2), I decided to put on a race. On the 3rd I headed out to the
Merrimack River and we marked out the course for the following day. I advertised it as a “pick your distance”
kind of thing. I put out some water but otherwise it was self-supported. Petey, Ken Tripp, Rob Smith and I decided to
do something a little different and opted to race over 15 miles (which meant
dropping a car). Petey was beating me on
the ups but I had him on the flats. At 5
miles I was 2 seconds back, at 10 I was 10 seconds back. His maximum lead was
15 seconds at 13 miles, then I hammered and caught him at 14. Wouldn’t you know it, he had a little
something left and pulled away for a 5 second victory. I think this is the only time Petey ever beat
me. Seven others raced over various
distances.
