Notes
Time is unofficial, and only 2.4 miles of the race were logged (watch malfunction at start). First race/hard workout since returning from injury. Time does not look like much on paper, but I am encouraged by the result as the day was hot, humid, and the course was incredibly slow. Course was largely ran on windy, turning cinder trails with sparing sections of asphalt. Ran in 3rd place and started aggressively before I was passed at the halfway mark by the eventual 3rd place finisher. Top three spots all taken by members of the Delaware Valley track team - a potential grudge match exists here for next year - when I return in proper shape. It may be time to challenge their lock on this race.
Proud of Maggie (2nd in her age group) and CPB - really fun face and proof that summer is not PR season, but a great time for hard training. May invest in spikes if I run this next year. Also meet a real Kenyan after the race (Edmund) who was a great guy (in his 50s and knew the South Mt. Race). So cool!
