What a nice local race! My friend S. and her husband are the race directors. After the initial craziness of the start, I settled in and found a woman with a good pace to follow. I was hoping to pick her up in the hills, but she held me off the whole race. A woman passed me around 2.5 miles, and I was surprised by that. I pushed pretty hard and don't bother with a sprint at the finish - it never gains me much, and I would rather push harder through the whole race.

I was the 12th of 22 women.

A fun race. The race starts at 8 a.m. There is a big parade at 10:00 a.m., so lots is going on.

Awesome job!  Sounds like my kind of race!  I just love these local races with parades and watermelon and pancake breakfasts and all that stuff.  Neat!
