Comments: Went out moderate, started about 1/3 in front of pack and weaved through traffic until the trail. Then single track, felt like 5k pacing for first 1.5 miles and that if I slowed down, the 8 guys right behind me would run over me. Started to thin out some, A guy I was tailing around mile 3 slipped right in front of me, went down but popped right back up, nice save! But after about 3 more minutes, he dropped back then faded fast after that. Last 1.5 miles, I couldn't reel in the guy 15 seconds in front of me. The switchbacks were good and bad, I'd turn on a little speed and make up ground, then he'd see the gap close on the next switchback then turn it on and open the gap back up. That went on for 6-7 minutes so I just settled back resigned to not catch him. Good to have a rabbit though as it made the time go by faster. ![]() Post race

Got to race really early as I'm not used to just a running race anymore. So no transition to setup so walked about 1/2 of course
Forgot, other than walked about 2 miles of course about 45 minutes before race.
