I'm likely going to miss the next few UMTR races due to schedule conflicts and travel plans, but will be back at it in the fall, legs willing.Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09316166415470647885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6563975145138754443.post-27694431620874684312012-06-27T11:13:34.042-04:002012-06-27T11:13:34.042-04:00I've had races that had train delays.

And your time was pretty good, better than my PR.<br /><br />What's funny (probably not to you right now) is that there are only two trains a week on that track (one northbound and one southbound), and I have never had to stop for a train before despite it being one of my favorite running and skiing spots.<br /><br />Hey, keep up the good work!
