Comments:

This one was slow and easy. We were late and watched the field go as we ran to the Porta potties then sprinted across the start line then walked while getting race belts and everything situated just right. It was great, my sister decided to run with me so we talked and the miles just rolled by. After 10, my knee started to hurt a bit so I told her to go ahead and I walked just a little, then it was fine, had to walk at the bottom of every hill and walked the aid stations but was only 10 mins slower than my best time at this distance and it was a LOT more fun.
