Geez, the run course was boring, flat 2 circles and no trees or scenery to look at while running, standing creek crossings due to storm the previous evening. But OCCC couldn't prevent this.

Be healthy and run faster by golly

Warm down:

water and stretching

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Head cold had me at about 70% at the start of the race, but wanted to perform under these conditions to see how I would do.

Event comments:

The folks at OCCC did a great job taking care of the athletes and I will be back next year and hopefully healthier. Super job and kudos to all of the marshalls and police officers who monitored the crossings in a super fashion.
