Comments: This was such a fun event - I learned that attitude is everything. I worked very hard to not get caught up in my time and pace but just enjoy what the course had to throw at me and keep pushing forward. A lot of times you really had no idea where you were on the course, as the miles were not marked except at the aid stations (or if you happened to run by somebody with a GPS). You really had to just "be in the moment", as it took a lot of concentration to watch where every footstep was landing, what obstacles you had to avoid, where was the next flag marking the course, and so on. The great thing for me was that I did not spend the whole race worrying about my finishing time, but I still ended up with a time and placement that I am very happy with.
It was an awesome training day as far as endurance building goes, but it was also a great change of pace (no pun intended) from all the sub-7 minute mile road running I've been doing. Interestingly, the only person who ran sub-10 minute mile
