Notes
Solid race, but didn't really feel sharp. Likely too close to the marathon, but I'll take the PR and improvement.
Pretty decent weather, upper 30's, overcast and some light rain late in the race.
4th year doing this race and for the first time I didn't let the course take over. In the past I've never noticed all the gradual downhills/flats that really help speed up the course as I'm usually just dreading each hill. Perhaps its just experience starting to come through.
A smart race as I kept within myself early, backed off when needed and used the downhills well...too bad I didn't have that extra gear today as it would have been nice to race next to Mikey. He pulled ahead on the first mile and held his ground to finish about :15 seconds ahead.
2AG and 14 OA...I really strong field and a fairly big pack in the 21:30-21:50 range. I would like to be there next year.
I did have a strong finish as I was trying to close on 13th place and Mikey in 12th.
5:27, 5:35, 5:37, 5:30
