or
Chasing Alan Ruben and the Ever Elusive Brad Weiss

April 4, 2004

Just barely arrived in time to get Alan at Km 13, followed here by Yunilesh Bekele (214) who finished 8th among the women. No time to get to the other side to have the chateau in the background. There are pacers with balloons for 3:00 hours and 3:30, etc. I waited here for Brad to the second group of balloons and knew that I had missed him. No more time to waste. Off to the next spot.
