Notes
A great race. I found myself taking it easier the first mile letting the kids and adults blow off all their steam in the first half mile and then slowly pass them by the first mile to settle in...I found myself behind 3-4 runners and one of them was the 2nd female along with 70 year old Peter M. (known Boston Marathon qualifier and can still run around 20 and sometimes sub 20-wow!). I eventually passed the other 2 runners by mile 2 and as we hit the county yards hill I caught up to both of them who I believe thought that was "the hill" on the downhill they both pulled slightly away from me, but as we turned the corner to ward the post office and that final hill, you could feel the rope pulling them closer, but the top of the hill all I had to do was sprint passed them. But sure enough there was a young buck right behind me doing the same. I managed to eclipse Peter by 1 sec and take care of a dream.
