Comments:

I ran strong and confident. It has been a long time since I have felt as such in a race. I was first masters until around mile 12 but I let a guy pass. I didn't realize he would end up being the Masters overall winner. Oh well, I'm really pleased with my effort and result. I never thought I would run competitively in a race again.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing. I am enjoying the journey and my return a it unfolds.
Post race
Warm down:

Changed clothes and waited for my girl - Mimi - who took 20 minutes off her previous best on this course.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I still am trying to lose weight. Hopefully the belly will slim soon.
