Had a friend give me cupcakes, so I stared at them longingly. Went to the portapotty before the lines got long

Comments:

Same run as the Frosty's Frozen 10, which is a challenging, hilly course throughout Chatfield Reservoir. but I did better this time, which made me happy. It was also my first long run without my crutch, aka MP3 player.

I think the part I struggled with most was the part leading up to the last aid station. The wind is terrible there.

I also dislike the parking lots toward the end because I see them and think, "Yay I'm almost done!" but no...it's a different parking lot! Foiled again!!!

The runners in this series are really fast! I guess it takes a special kind of dedication to running to do races in Dec/Jan/Feb
What would you do differently?:

nothing

Event comments:

I feel like there should be at least one more drink station. I did okay, but I usually hydrate more than I was able to during this race.
