Comments:

Fely good for the first half, at about mile 8 Jill caught up to me and I had planned on taking that mile easy. I think we kinda started racing each other and when we got to mile 10. or 11 I started to get a muscle cramp in my right calf, I could feel that it wanted to just totally knot up on me, so I just had to keep running at a pace that was right at the line of it going into total cramps.
What would you do differently?:

Well, I would not get a muscle cramp, but from what I know and have read there is no one cause that you can put a finger on. For me I think I will drink more gatorade leaading up to a longer race, eat a banana that AM, and maybe some easy streching before. and we will see.

Small race yet fun, and this was Jills first and she did well and got 3rd in her age group.

Course: It was flat, and not a bad course, Ran by the old ghost fleet. Not a whole lot of folks out and about, really just the folks at the water stops. But I enjoyed it anyway.
