Got up again at 5:45, ate another Cliff Bar and headed out

Event comments:

If I had this same time last year I would have placed 2nd in my AG by 8 minutes.... definatly a higher level of compitition this year. Bummed I didn't place, my times were good though so I'm ok with it. Great atmosphere, would definatly do the race again!
