Comments:

WELL ORGANIZED RACE. FEEL WIRED RUNNING OUT OF TOWN AND SPECIALLY WITHOUT MY LOVING HUBBY. I FELT GOOD RUNNING THE HILLS. I NEVER THOUGHT I COULD RUN THAT MANY FOR THAT LONG. I WAS HAPPY WITH MY TIME.
What would you do differently?:

TRAINING WOULD BE A GOOD START! I JUSR RAN 3 DAYS 5 MILES ON A FLAT SURFACE BEFORE THE RACE. BUT MY SWIMMING AND BIKING HELPED ME A LOT.
