I can relate to you Jeff.... The Adirondack Marathon was won by this guy Pete like 5 times in a row,,,,,the guy thought he was hot shit.....yet he would NEVER run Boston, Puerto Rico, or any big race.Hmmm why not ??? The Kenyans would annhilate him, so he runs against guys that he can beat. Nothing you can do about it though, dude. Good Luck Dr J
