Started out a bit too quick and I think this is what hurt me in the long run. The beginning of the course is all downhill and I kept up a fair good pace until the water stop at the turn around. I stopped and got some water in me and when I started walking again I could feel my calves trying to cramp up. I slowly walked for about 100yards and then tried to keep the pace going. I went for about a mile and had to stop again. Got tired. Kept telling myself to keep going but my body gave up, or more like my mind got the best of me. Proud with the time in the long run of it, but could have done better.

Run more before the race, or the weeks before it. I really have cut back on my training because of school lately. I can't wait to be done with school and be on a set schedule.

Cooled down got some water in me and a banana. Then stretched and waited for my brother, girlfriend, dad and uncle to come in. Also to see who got closets to 11. Since this was the whole point of the race.


Probably a little bit of the hills near the end, a little warm that day and lack of training before hand.


A little local race which saw its biggest group this year. 257 people! Big change from last years 185. Great time and always fun.
