5 ez on JRP.  Cold but not wet.

3 days out and the forecast is not looking too good.  It's the wind I'm worried about.  Lets hope for a nice tail wind.

The headwind will make it that much more impressive, once we cruise across the line in under 3 hours...

Yep, and you'll have a pack of sub-3 guys to draft off of. So excited for you! Glad to hear your beloved family dog is "out of the woods".

Don't look at the forecast. There is nothing you can do about it and they are never right.

no worries - you have it in you. If there is a lot of headwind just group it up nascar style. I'm sure there are a lot of you going for sub 3, right?

We had headwind last year and made it through it. You are much stronger that I was last year. I agree with Andy. We just take what comes.

Oh your going to do awesome Mark. Wind or no wind your going to do awesome. I know you will make it man. You looked very strong and probably able last year. This year you are doing it.

Mark, good luck at SGM. There is no doubt in my mind that you can go sub 3 with all the great training you've done. I hope at all comes together for you on race morning.

Ry was telling me about the wind last night.

No worries ... you are so ready ... you should be saying: "Bring it on ... it'lll taste that much sweeter!!!"

I am so so so excited for you and so so so excited to hear about the whole thing!!!

BEST OF LUCK!!!

YOU ARE SO READY!!!!
