Comments:

I don't know why I lost 47 seconds this year. I climbed the hills much better than last year, and the downhills were fine. Everything felt great, until I saw the time-clock at the end.

My HR seemed a bit high throughout the race, but I just figured it was nerves. Felt sick most of the rest of the day, but I just figured that was from sniffing in the burning leaves along the route.

Event comments:

This isn't a race for apres-run, but it's definitely a great race for working on running. At least I'll keep working the hills, and working more intervals, and see what happens during the BolderBoulder next May.

Unless I change my mind, there won't be anymore organized races for me until May 2006.

Good job on the race Joe.

I saw you mentioned the Bolder Boulder.  Brings back memories for me...

That was the single most fun I've ever had running.

Nice run Joe!  No worries that it was a hair slower than last year....you still kicked butt!

And change your mind about other races this winter!  Running is good for you!
