Comments: I was very negative at the beginning of the race. Cramping early in the race didn't help either. My attitude didn't improve until the point when I decided that I was not quitting. Then the switch turned on and I lit up. I was still cramping but I was in a better mood.
After the race while I was eating, the MC dude was announcing the age group top-3 placements. I wasn't paying attention since I don't know anyone and I was tired, cold and eating. I thought I heard my name, but nah can't be... kept eating.
Later I checked the results and wow I placed 3rd in my age group. I waited a bit to make sure there were more than 3 guys in my AG, and yep there were 10. Cool. I went to pick up my package which included a 3rd place medal and a NF shirt. As it turned out it was good that I pushed it at the end. The guy I beat out by 13 seconds was in my age group! It would've sucked if I finished 4th haha.
At the end of the race, I thought my race time stunk. I was disappointed but
