Comments:

I started out with a couple of friends and they said they wanted to do 50 mins but we were going slow and I picked up the pace and then never kept up! I was absolutly feeling great today. The run was awesome. Lots of technical running and lots of up hill. Race plan was to run to the mega hill and hike up and run down...check! I followed a race plan for once. The last k was hurting but man that was a great course. The shoes were a dream to run in. I actually had them .5 too small but they did the job they were meant to do! I loved the race!
What would you do differently?:

Train. as usual.

Warm down:
