Ditto for Becky Harris at Pan Am.  I had dinner with her
and, I think, Connie Caudill the day before the race.  They
were way nicer to me than any nobody from nowhere
who happened to be sitting at the same table had a right
to expect.

I rooted for Becky all day long.  She started in the middle
of the pack, but I noticed she was slowly working her way
up all day long.  When she left the 60 mile check at
GHMA, she was very close to being in the top 10.

Becky continued to improve her position through that final
long loop until she was, I believe, 6th leaving the final vet stop
four miles out from the finish.  Then that <expletive deleted>
SOB who lives next to the trail took down all the glowsticks
and deliberately directed both her and Karen Clark down the
*wrong* trail, costing both of them their Top-10 finish.

It is good to see that both Becky and her horse GA Tyfa Mynte
are nonetheless getting the long-term recognition that they
deserve.
