Comments:

Not an experience trail runner at all, so just wanted to push without blowing up and not fall. Went out pretty hard with a pack of 4, sitting in 3rd place. Guy in the front faded back and the 3 of us all overtook him. First place guy got a gap when I got stuck behind runners from the 30K, but honestly it was for the best, I was cooked. The guy in 3rd really never let me relax, always just within earshot, so I just get the pressure on and didn't give any opportunities away.

What would you do differently?:

Nothing, very fun!

Warm down:

Walked around a bit waiting for Tony to finish. Missed him when I went to get sunglasses - he was much faster than he predicted!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Nothing

Event comments:

Really glad I found this for my trip to Austin.
