I continue to pray for your recovery (or remission or whatever euphemism they're currently using. Gad, I hate this disease.) In my book, Susan, you are the winner of Leadville this year. The one who made the galant gesture. Le beau geste.

You told us your time on the first day, that was done... But how was Susan. On part II you told us that you were looking for Susan and the things that were going through your head as to her health and wellbeing. I thought that might be foreshadowing of something to come and I've been worried about Susan all week. Bike race--who cares. I'm glad to hear that Susan is doing all right. As for next year, you just need a little bit of Susan's toughness to rub off on you. With half the toughness she's got, you would have sub-8 in the bag.
