Notes
Love this race. It is tough all the way through to mile 8. Mile 7 is just down right unpleasant by that point. First 3 miles are a straight incline up Rt 2. Fairly relentless. I was pretty strong on the uphills and picked off numerous crying runners who had not run the course before. Passed Eric Johnston and he started complaining about his leg injury and then immediately picked it up and passed me. Dumped him later to find out that he dropped a 6 minute mile at the end to just pass me at the finish. I had him on chip time as he started ahead of me but he won the gun war.
I think my plan was pretty good. Wanted between 8:15 and 8:20 1st mile and hit 8:17. Last 8 min mile even with bad mile 7.
Nice big car pool with Chris S., Debbie, Sari, Marsha, Amanda, Julia, Greg, Steve Anderson, Glenda.
So, another PR on the cycle and first time to break 1:20.
