Comments:

Training for the 50km race in a month, but mileage always helps. Best placement ever for this race, if not best time.

Warm down:

Went straight back to the parking lot to get home

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Not much speed work just volume for the ultra.

Event comments:

Try and do this every year - it's one of the biggest races in the city.
