Relay! Considering my level of fitness at the time of the race I'm amazed I did so well. It helped that it was only 10 miles.

Train more? This was a fun race so no complaints from me.

Great local race for first timers or relay participants. Folks at the host YMCA are super friendly despite the onslaught of hundreds of athletes on their tiny facility.
