Had to get there very early for packet pickup. Called Trix, found her, then found coop, kimm, and others.

Jumped around, pet Cody to keep my fingers from falling off, and chatted with my BT pals.

Comments:

Great race for me. I had originally put a goal of 1:45 out there, but poor training in the month of Feb, made me think it was out of reach. I started out at about 8:20 and picked it up from there. I finally found a couple guys to hang behind after about two or three miles, and stuck with them until the turn around. They split off for the full, and I just went solo from there.

I got a big boost from Ryan and Alaina (and cody too) and that helped me to pick it up for the final 4 miles in. I'm not sure on my splits, but it had to be a neg split for the halves.

Not much else to say, it was a great run for me.

What would you do differently?:

Had I known how close I was to 1:45, I could have cut another minute out somewhere. I know it. :(

Warm down:

Talked to Ranger Dave and his dad, then grabbed my road bike and caught up with trix. Oh yeah, I caught with Robyn too.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Not much. It was a great day!

I'll have to pull it off the Garmin. Basically I ran the first half in mid-Z3, then naturally went into high-Z3 for the return.
