Wow, that was fun, hard, muddy, challenging and cool! What can I say,. it was up and down and I pushed as hard as I could. Had to walk 1 hill on the first loop as I went to hard. Still able to pick it back up and run hard downhill and catch the guys who past me on the up hill. Only had one guys pass me and that was at mile 7. He was booking. It was so muddy there were times that I had 4 inches of mud on my shoes and it weighed a ton. Going up hillat times was just humorous sliding around. Downhills were scary. What fun to run that race instead of a 13 miler!
What would you do differently?:

Nothing.
Post race
Warm down:

Ate some pizza, and drank gatorade and talked with my wife and Ted and Susan.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

THe hills killed me. I am a downhill runner and that was fun.

Event comments:

Great time and good race that was small. Still some fast dudes came out. The winning time was 1:05! I won a bottle of hot sauce with the races logo on it and a 20 dollar gift certificate to running wild. No shirts but gave us a choice between a bag and a headband. Good day, just beautiful out there!
