A 2nd, 4th, and 54th place finish would have translated to like a 20 length victory if it was a single 30 race contest instead of 3 different ten race ones.
So basically what you are saying is that you have tactical speed too and are able to rate going long?

I see myself as someone who's best distance is 25 miles. Thus the longer and more tedious a grind the contest is .. the better for me.

With that said ... even I will be secretly rooting against myself since no money is involved. It's fun watching the cocky lose.

I couldn't disagree with this any more...

What kind of a mamby-pamby weenie watches Survivor and roots for Boston Rob to get voted off the island?

I hope you finish second to me. Watching the cocky back it all up is electrifying. Don't ever be ashamed about being The Rock.

It's going to be an uphill climb for me as I didn't use the Fountain of Youth winner and will have to pick him up next round.

17th out of 130 isn't the worst of starts .. but I'm probably toast after one race.

I wonder why they still haven't updated this??

I think I surged into the top 5 after yesterdays results.

I'm 4th right now.

I'm the only person in the entire top 23 that didn't use Eskenderya.


Had I used Eskenderya instead of Buddy's Saint I'd be way out in front .. and probably heavily favored to win the national overall.
