Well, even Secretariat lost his first race before going on to win the Triple Crown...!

I am glad I ran the race but honestly disippointed with the final results. 20 days of virtually no training and a bone spur really didn't give me a very good chance to accomplish my goal. As you can see from the chart below I ran right at 8:00 pace for 21 miles. At 21.5 miles my knee with the bone spur basiclly locked up and I had to walk for about 30 seconds. This happened 3 or 4 more times before the end of the race. My conditioning was not good enought either. Two months ago I ran 21.5 miles at a 7:47 pace and my heart rate avg. was 154 (71% of my max heart rate) (and hotter weather and a very hilly course). As you can see my heart rate avg. for this race was 165 (82% of my max. heart rate).

The weather conditions at the race were tough. Low 40's, raining, some small hail, lightning, and very windy. I was very cold throughout the race, especially my hands and feet.

“The tragedy of life doesn’t lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no goal to reach. It isn’t a calamity to die with dreams unfulfilled, but it is a calamity not to dream." Benjamin Elijah Mays

Recovery Day...

Hear

·             Acts 15:7: "After there had been much debate, Peter stood up and said to them,
"Brethren, you know that in the early days God made a choice among you, that
by the mouth the Gentiles would hear the word of the gospel and believe.""

·             Romans 10:17: "So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.

Recovery Day ...

My right leg is swolen from the knee down...mainly my ankle and foot.

Believe

·             Acts 15:7: "After there had been much debate, Peter stood up and said to them,
"Brethren, you know that in the early days God made a choice among you, that
by the mouth the Gentiles would hear the word of the gospel and believe.""

Revovery Day...

I'ts amazing what one day of recovery will do. Yesterday my feet, calves and right knee were all really sore and tired. Today I feel like I could go out and run fairly comfortably...but I'm going to wait a few more days.

Repent

·             Luke 24:47: "and that repentance for forgiveness of sins would be proclaimed in
His name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem."

·             Acts 2:38: "Peter said to them, "Repent, and each of you be baptized in the
name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the
gift of the Holy Spirit.""

Recovery Day...

Everything is feeling pretty good. My knee is just a little tinder but no more swelling. My feet and ankles are just a little sore but nothing different than when I'm running my usual.

Confess

·             Matthew 10:32: "Therefore everyone who confesses Me before men, I will also
confess him before My Father who is in Heaven."

·             Romans 10:9-10: "that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and
believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for
with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth
he confesses, resulting in salvation."

Recovery Day...

Figured out certain things are still making my knee sore. Went and rode (roping) fairly hard last night and my knee got really tight again. Not sure if it's the pressure, angle or movement that made it hurt. Anyway it was worth it since I had a $ 1,200 win for a little Thursday night event.

Be Baptized

·             Acts 2:38: "Peter said to them, "Repent, and each of you be baptized in the
name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the
gift of the Holy Spirit.""

·             Romans 6:4: "Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into
death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the
Father, so we too might walk in newness of life."

Race: Widlfire World Series Finals 00:01:00

Sitll no run today... But I will report on my roping PR. I went to Salado to the Wildfire Team Roping Finals entering in two events, the #12 and the #11. I placed in all both the Preliminary Ropings and both Finales. In the #12 Preliminary roping I won 2nd for a total of $ 1,120. This by itself would have been a great win but to top that off the win made me eligable for a Finale entry. In the Finale I won 2nd again for another $2,010 prize. I decided to enter the #11 Preliminary and ended up winning 1st in that roping. With that win I recieved a trophy buckle (pictured below) and another $ 2,164. Again I was able to enter the Finale for this roping and again placed high in the roping, 2nd, for another incredable $ 2,430 win.  Total winnings for the day was $ 7,720. That's the biggest prize money I have ever won in a single day! Entries in the Preliminary ropings were about 140 and 150 respectfully and in the Finale ropings 50 and 60. Now for the BIG decision, these wins make me eligible for entries in World Series Team Roping Finals held in Las Vegas in December. I have never competed in a National Finals before. The entry fees are $ 2,000 each plus all the expenses to get there and back. I haven't decided if I'm going to do it yet but I am leaning toward going for it! Prizes there will be 10 times the amounts here but the compitition should not be any tougher. Well...that's my Roping Report for the weekend, I don't expect to top this one for a while....!

Here is the trophy buckle I was given for the #11 Preliminary win...!

Exodus 17:11
As long as Moses held up his hands, the Israelites were winning, but whenever he lowered his hands, the Amalekites were winning.
