I really enjoyed the run. I was way off of my normal 8:35 pace, but i was guiding a blind runner In his first road race. I was honored to help him through and he was really proud of himself.

Performance: Good
Course: The course was pretty good- all through city streets in downtown Indy. Some of the roads were pretty torn up with potholes. This is a bit of a challenge when you are guiding a blind runner. It was also really wet- rained the whole way.
Keeping cool Good Drinking Just right
