Notes
Fairly pleased with this. Effort was more on the level of a hard workout. I definitely had a bit more to give.
Got out and had a bunch of the old guys in front of me. Billig was out there, but I wasn't going to try to chase him today. I had my eyes on those in my age group. Most of the contenders were ahead of me and I was closing on them as we neared the big hill. Moved past one on the hill and then was targeting the others after cresting the hill. Just past the mile, caught a good group and thought about hanging with them. As we crested the next hill, they relaxed a bit -- decision time. Didn't think long and set out on my own. After that, it was me chasing the guy in front of me (that turned out to be Tim Johnson) and waiting to see if the group behind me would catch up. Not a great place to be with 6k to go.
Anyway, just tried to keep a good solid effort and turn them over. Pleased with the results.
