Comments:

This course is crazy to begin. mix in 25+ mph winds and a temp of sub 40's it get wild. I spent a good part of the race sitting around the 6-7 slot . the lake segment comes into play around mile 7- or 8. It was at this point where i really started to feel some fatigue from battling the wind. coming out of that there is a waterstation that a stopped to grab some drinks and was passed, I would catch up and draft these runners for most of the race and basically keep them close but i just could not pull them in. finished with a decent kick, which i could not do 2yrs ago do to knee issues. so all and all felt good. Most challenging run i do. love it.
What would you do differently?:

not much, if anything I just need a few more hours on rolling hills or more time at tranquility to burn the legs.
Post race

Performance: Average
Course: Unable to compare. it is just a collection of old country roads, a mix of gravel and min maintenace. Mix in a loop around a lake park trail and you have a great hilly run.
Keeping cool Good Drinking Just right
