Notes
Was nervous going into the race. Been having knee issues for the last week. I felt pain on the warm up. Didn't start too far up front and went out a steady pace. The wind was a bit of an issue, Just wanted to run steady splits. I caught a lot of people. Brian Culla passed me at about 4 miles and said he was just doing a fast tempo and said I should stick with him. It was a big help as I started increasing speed. The wind along the coast was bad, but better than last year. The last hill was brutal but I passed a lot of people. Saw Hank up ahead and passed him as we made the turn. At that point I put the hammer down and just gunned it. Was pretty happy with my time and glad that I placed 3rd on our seniors team. The knee didn't turn out to be an issue, Achilles was aching. Did a cool down with Robert. He was second senior. Reeder was first and Cooney was 3rd.
