Comments:

The course was tuff and hilly. gun start. one drink station. NO MILE MARKERS!! some cars on course but was a fun run. At the end of the race there was no finish line just a timer. I stopped after the timer and was walking. some people were yelling for me to go up further so I did. I was then handed a yellow card.I did not know where to cross to stop my time. I never ran like this before, without a number.
What would you do differently?:

I ate too much the day before (celebrated Thanksgiving early. family reasons)was up about 6 pounds with no sleep. Eat less, sleep more.
Post race
Warm down:

waited for results

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Not knowing where the timer shut off and given that yellow card

Event comments:

All of the other turkey trots were sold out. It was fun but probably will go for something else next year. If the timing results were better and they had more age and / or clydesdale catergory I would come back.
