I almost didn't do the race. My legs and especially my calves still felt very tight from Thursday's long run. Legs felt heavy starting out, but I hit the first mile marker at 6:10 and realized it might be a pretty good day. Kept pretty steady pace the rest of the way. After the turnaround I was basically just trying to keep sight of the couple of guys in front of me, and making sure the couple of guys behind me weren't closing.

Nice for a small race - they had lots of water, gatorade, and watermelon. Hung out with the girls waiting for Jen to come in.


I had a great race and ran my fastest times ever. The only problem was that the post race awards were very disorganized and it took a very long time for them to figure it all out. They announced me as the winner of my age group, but the final results online had another guy ahead of me. No worries, same plaque for first and second place.
