Lots of water, cookies, and a banana. Got to visit with a lot of other racers.

I had been sick Monday and Tuesday and couldn't train. Was a little sluggish.

Event comments:

This was my 3rd race in the Tennessee State Park Running tour. This is their 25th year and they are well organized. Would like to race the whole 16 race series next year. I have a 1/2 mary in 2 weeks and this was my long day run. My goal was 1:10:00 so I'm right on pace.
