There have been many wonderful, thrilling Tour contests, but this has to be about the best finish as it came down to the last time trial of only 15K with Le Mond making up 50 seconds to win by 8 seconds: the closest finish in history of the Tour. Very exciting. Let's get a group over there.
Last Sunday was perfect day for the Kaiser Permanente Half Marathon/5K and a number of our group ran it. I'll update some of those results later and also list what's new at Arch Rival with athletic shoes and casual footwear.
