Hilly course. Quad didn't feel good for 1st 7 miles, then relented. Left overs from workouts friday & Saturday. Cramped at 12.48 miles in front of Roanoke Tavern.

Taper instead of working hard the 2 days before the race.

Nothing, talked with Ken S.

Cramp at mile 12.48, quad pain 1st 1/2 of race.

Hard course for most folks, definitely not a PR course. Building towards Portland rock n roll for a PR this year. Good to have in the bank.
