Every now and again on the race course you're forced to gamble, sometimes you win, sometimes you don't. At the Upstate Adventure Race this past weekend, we didn't. Congrats to DART-nuun on their victory, and our team mates Paul and Michele racing as Inov-8 for a well deserved second place. My apologies to Kenny Rogers.

On a cool fall evenin on a road bound for nowhere
We met up with some racers, we were all to jazzed to sleep.
So we took turns a starin at squigly lines thinking where to go
til nap time overtook us, and we began to sleep.

I said, son, I've had some time of readin this here map
And learnin where the cps are by the way trails twist and turn
So if you don't mind my guessin, I can see this ain't no snap
For a tase of your ensure I'll give you some advice

So we set out on the course, and we went as hard as we could
We were right up with the leaders, and puttin up a fight
But sixteen was hidden well, and our luck was runnin out
See, if you're gonna play the game, boy, ya gotta learn to play it right.

You got to know when to hold em, know when to fold em,
Know when to walk away and know when to run.
You always find your cps when youre out on the race course.
There'll be time enough for guessin when the racin's done.
