Notes
Was a little hillier than I was expecting--seemed like we were always running up or down. The route was almost entirely on paved roads. My plan for this race was to use it as a training run for my upcoming 50 mile. So I tried to keep an even and comfortable pace throughout the race. I started toward the back of the pack but moved up to 6th place. Holding that place till about mile 22, I fell back to 8th. At the end I was running with two other individuals who were agreeable for a conversation. That helped us cover the last couple of miles without thinking too much.
