tough run- it was an awesome workout. I am not where I wanted to be right now but that's my own fault and I'll get over it- I've really enjoyed being lazy this spring. I started too fast- you live and you learn.

Course was too hard because I suck. I really liked this race and will be there next year if I'm not working.

Course: very hilly, ran a tiny amt off road, part of which was mulch which was as bad as running thru soft sand.
