Comments:

Tried to push really hard. Wanted to see what I could do today. I ran a slow 5 miles yesterday and the legs are finally recovering from last Saturday's half-mary. Still not as strong as I'd like to be over this distance but a huge improvement. Took about 3.5 minutes off my previous best time on this course (last Nov). Took 2:29 off my current PR!!
What would you do differently?:

Run even harder :)

Warm down:

Walked around, helped the RFYL folks break down their equipment. I was waiting on the awards ceremony because I was 3rd in 30-34 according to the prelim results. OF FREAKIN' COURSE--this would be in the one race where they were only doing 10 yr increments. I think I was probably 4th or 5th in the 30-39. Damn!!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Me

Event comments:

Good race, like this course. I've done 3 different races here now so it's a great way for me to measure my overall progress.
