Dan Verrington and I have been racing against each other since November of 1980. In the 40+ years of racing we’ve crossed paths nearly 300 times (297). With injuries impacting both of us we had only raced each other 4 times in 2018 and just once in 2019. The XC race this weekend was our first time in 2020. I got the better of Dan this time but the breakdown has been fairly even with me beating Dan 165 times and him beating me 132 times. Thirty of those races were won by one of us with the other taking second (and since we usually invited each other and carpooled we have no one to blame but ourselves for those losses. I have won 14 races where Dan finished second and he took the overall win 16 times with me getting second. Hopefully we’ll have many more close races!
