Comments:

Sometimes it seemed like I underdressed, at other times overdressed. When the wind turned on us, it was cold and was tough to run against. When it died down or was blocked, I heated up. But all in all, it was a pleasant day...and the coastline was beautiful.
Post race
Warm down:

Got warm dry clothes on a soon as possible. Light stretching while changing. Some Smuttynose beer too.

Event comments:

M5054 is competitive division. A month older and I'd have been on the podium. The complementary beer went down nice. The total runners are approximate. I will correct when the data is posted.
