Comments:

Not very crowded up front. Let a group get away almost immediately so I could pace it right knowing there was a really tough hill. The 180 cone turn on a slick wet steep downhill was pretty rough, but once that was past me I was able to push the rest of the run.

Nothing
Post race
Warm down:
