Notes
Started easy and then picked it up. Ran in a Hawaiian shirt and swim trunks while carrying a martini glass and shaker (yes it was loaded -- nice treat at the finish -- well shaken!). Happy with the result even though I did not really race. More of a workout than anything. I think the course might have been a bit long...
Didn't plan to run this fast. Positioned myself about 20 meters back from the starting line. Looked around thought I was in the right spot -- wrong. As we made the turn onto Lake, I knew that there were a lot of yahoos ahead of me. So, moved left of the cones and just started cruising. Probably had passed 30 people at this point and began to count back from the lead car. Felt fairly confident that I was in the top 10 or 15. What to do? Just cruise it. Made the right off of Lake and saw some people I could pick off. Probably passed 5 more by the time we got to the light at the bottom of 28th(?). At this point, there was nobody else in sight. Made the next right back onto the parkway and saw that there was nobody close either in front or behind. Just kept turning them over. A bit slick in spots, but not too bad.
Won a cool chair!
