I probably should have started a bit further forward as it took a few minutes until we started moving. Chip time was 01:48:15 so it was about 44 seconds till I got to the start line.

I worked at keeping the pace consistent and tried not to let it drop off too much at the end of the race. I was fairly successful with this, the first miles were faster but they are also mostly down hill with a tail wind and it was only about a 15 second a mile increase coming back with the rollers and head wind.

I enjoyed the run, lots of spectators along the course, many moved from location to location as I saw a lot of the same signs over and over. Funniest thing was a guy playing trombone while his dog howled beside him.

I think I did a pretty good job of getting water and gatorade at the stations, took a gel about half way. Never felt dehydrated,


Nothing specific for this race since it wasnt an A race. It is really a nice course for the half, maybe I should think about doing the full sometime and do it as an A race.

After finishing I grabbed a little post race food, then came out and found Dud. We went to breakfast at Denny's.




Fleetfeet/Yellowjacket racing does a great job.

Thanks again to Dud for the sherpa service!
