Bill Gross takes 29th place at 2007 Charlottesville Marathon
Saturday, April 21st, 2007
Wow.
Today I pwned (aka, ‘rocked’) the Charlottesville Marathon.
I was a little worried about my preparedness, but I kicked butt!
29th place and a PR, baby!
Former PR: 3:42:42 set at 2005 Richmond Marathon:
Today: 3:28:31! Shaving over 14 minutes off my former time.
Guess having some knowledge of the course helps. And perhaps the fact that I got half way through training for a hundred miler probably gave me some energy to spare :)
More details / photo’s to follow, but I’m really psyched!
Thanks to all those who came out to support the race by cheering, working water stations, etc. A special thanks to the Charlottesville Bike Club that provided additional security along the course.

Correction - When originally posted, my standing (as found on the race results printed at the finish line) showed me in 28th place. I corrected this post on 4/22 to reflect the final, official results.
