Notes
Will have to check stats when they're up. Was in lead pack off the line, but not nailing it, because I tend to go out too fast. In first mile, I was 6th? But then the 1st guy only was doing the one mile race. Figured, let the leaders go, maintain, don't blow up, as I didn't know the course. Someone passed me. Back to 6th. Hmm. Catch 5 and ran w/ 4 a tad. He knew the course, but he was dogging. No way I could catch 1st, so I figure 4th may not be bad. But then I hit the hill strong and 3 came in my sights. Caught him on a downhill -- he must had went out too fast. I actually thought to myself, maybe he doesn't want it as bad as I do. Swampy. Caught him w/in final .33-.25, I would say. Then I'm feeling stronger still, it's on a flat and w/in the .25 and I just kept hammer dropping.and caught 2. Beat him by 2 secs. This course was hilly. Not Frigid mind you, but hilly.
Garmin had me at 5.13 for a 6.41 pace. Did not wear HRM.
And I met a woman from Dublin. Tracy McGee (?) Pronounced McGay or McGay-hee? Something like that.
