Comments:

Really hammered this. Opened up with a 5:44 and just tried to hold on as best I could. The trail wind on the long straight away back was nice. Didn't have a ton left for a kick at the end but really happy I squeezed in under 18 minutes. Not expecting to be able to pull that off!
What would you do differently?:

Nothing

Warm down:

After waiting around for awards (heck yeah 3rd place male team, AMC running club!), I ran the 2 miles back to my place.

Event comments:

Really fun race, so glad they added this to Oktoberfest a few years ago. Would've hung out afterwards with classmates if the weather were better.
