Racing recap from previous years

This is something I have been meaning to do for a while - keep a better account of my racing history.  Normally, I just save my race number and finisher's medal and write the date, finishing time, place and pace on the back on the race number.  Even though I can look back on these mementos and recall my triumphs or defeats, writing about my running lets me enjoy them more when I look back on them.  I'll add more detail and pics as it comes back to me.
