Comments:

ANOTHER NEW PR!!! Felt great the entire run For the first time passed more people than passed me :) Mile 2 was mismarked by about .2 miles. Started my final kick at about the 3 mile mark passed 1 other person but held off another runner who pulled up along side me with about 100 yards to go.
What would you do differently?:

seed myself a little closer to the front even though I started with the 9 minute milers there were still some walkers in front of me to dodge

What limited your ability to perform faster:

No real speed work

Event comments:

they had chip timing but no timing mat at the start so everything was gun time whats the point? Nice course overall will run it again

That's a really fun run and a great time!

They didn't used to have  chip timing, so maybe they are working out the kinks...
