Course: Hilly but I saw a deer cross in front of me at 1/2 way point. Eve was just behind me. A lady jogged up beside me on the way back in and said, "I have been trying to catch up with you for the last 1/2 mile, you kept me going," then she passed my butt. Steve Holderness ran up beside me as I began teh last mile and jogged with me for about 1/2 mile. This inspired me to keep going instead of walking.
