Really good run. I liked the course. I just went out very easy for the first 8-9 miles and kept to the plan of nutrition every mile. Picked up the pace at the 9-10 mile point and then really hammered the last 3ish miles to the finish. There were some serious hills in the last 2 miles that really put distance between myself and the people behind me. I tried to keep a sub 7 pace from Pilot Knob road to the finish. Did a good job at that and finished strong. The last mile was killer, all I kept thinking was less then 7 min to the finish keep pushing.

Maybe if I was looking to get a better time I would have gone out harder at the start but insted I kept to the plan of an easy start with a hard finish.

Shower, food and a little walk to the parking lots.


Still some fatague from the last 2 weeks of racing. My legs are starting to feel better but they are far from fresh.


I would only give this race an above average ranking b\c the total lack of traffic control. Running along 9N is VERY dangerous and people just didnt care that we were out there running.
