Looking back: December 2000

20 years ago (December 2000): Only one race during this month.  Drove 3 hours with Dave Tyler down to Norfolk CT for the Norfolk Pub 10 mile which was part of the Hockomock Swamp Rat series.  I did a 3 mile warm-up with college roommate Mike Woodman before taking the line as snow flew. The course was tough (rolling) and I felt pretty lousy as I was still recovering from a head-cold.  I took the lead at 1.5 miles and went on to win by nearly 3 minutes with a course record 57:56 (old CR was 60:30).  The following day Steve Peterson (Petey) and Robert Molnar (the Hungarian) joined me at sunrise for a run over a course I’d developed at the Windblown ski area.  We had fun running around on the crust snow even though it was only 5 degrees!
