I am psyched to have ridden the entire hill that kicked my butt the last two years. This hill snuck up on me. I was almost over the top when I realized this was the monster. I thought I still had it to go.

Comments:

I really went out well on the first mile. I ran the whole first mile. I walked the aid station and then had a tough time keeping a pace on the last mile. I walked more than I had planned to.
What would you do differently?:

Don't go out so fast so I would have more left at the finish.
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

I need to develop better mental toughness especially during the run. My mind really wandered and it was hard to keep focused on my pace and breathing.

Event comments:

Overall, I had a great race. I knocked about 13 minutes off my time from last year. I conquerred the monster hill and I had a really good run time. The training plans from BT are really good.
