Comments:

Yikes a hill! Passed a couple people going up, but they got me back and stayed in front of me. I really wanted to pass the overweight guy with the stroller but just couldn't do it. Right near the end a guy with a freckle on the back of each knee (and totally muscular calves) passed me and I kept up with him for a bit and never lost sight. Picked it up the last half mile but couldn't hammer it in the chute- guess I gave my all.

What would you do differently?:

Train on hills. Get more sleep.

Post race

Warm down:

Long walk, little stretch.

Event comments:

Water halfway. Costume contest and awards afterwards- only thing was that pavilion was so cold!
