I Blame Simon Pearson (or, Stewart Mountain XC Race Report)

Simon, Simon, Simon.
He lopes alongside your sandbagging self, making cheery conversation, making it look so easy and egging you on. Convincing you that your smart plan of turning around at the cutoff before the mountain is unnecessary. Romping through the woods with you until your entire diaphragm seizes up in excruciating stitches. "Oh, yes," he said helpfully, later. "I heard your breathing change just before you dropped to the ground crying, 'Go on, Simon! Go on for the love of God!'"
