Comments:

I took the lead fifty meters into the race and was never challenged. I felt great through the first mile but tired out on the hill in the second mile. I pushed well but was disappointed about not breaking 17:00.
What would you do differently?:

Work the hill in the second mile better.
Post race
Warm down:

Ten minutes on course.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Poor nutrition and sleep in the day before the race.

Event comments:

It was a nice fundraising effort for Earl's Place. The course was nice, but the lack of competition was disappointing. A definite must race next year, however.
