Notes
David Borden was a personal training client of mine so I really wanted to win. Unfortunately this was the most competitive version of this race for many years. The course is very hilly but we did have great weather. I was able to stay relaxed the entire race. Through half-way there were still 4 of us in contention, but my legs just wouldn't go with the eventual 1st (James Hunsucker) and 2nd placers (some 13 year old). They finished in 18:04/18:07. I ran respectably but did kind of coast in at the end, partially because of the terrain and partially because I was all alone in 3rd. Jessica was the women's winner in 23:09?
5:43 the fast section of the course
6:02 did well to remain competitive
6:13 started to coast for maybe the last quarter of the third mile
38 very slow despite being downhill
