Notes
This was a hard race. It was 85 degrees by the time we finished. Several hills for a total elevation of about 450ft. They also measured the course long...something like 6.5 miles. (mine only shows 6.34 but I started it a quarter mile in) Plus I haven't been running nearly as much as I was a few months ago.
All the excuses out of the way, I'm happy with the result. I didn't think I had that time in me today even if the course was correctly measured. It was hard pretty much the whole way, but I caught up with Alfredo about a mile from the finish line who had gone out too fast. I didn't have anything left to push for the end, and my chance at stealing my first victory over him was dashed away.
Then we went to Chinatown and got bottle rockets! :)
