Notes
Well, #10 in the books - not my fastest time, but I'm really happy with the effort. The last 4 was a grind for sure. But my goals was a sub-3:50:00 and no injuries - mission accomplished. Fun day with Egad, Gwen, Michelle, Vangie, Laurie and Jess.
The course was perfect - but could have used more waster stops. All in all, this was a great race. Typical for me - first 10 or so was a grind, next 12 was good and I got into a groove - last 4, yup, not so good - I was done.... I was really pumped that I fought the last four miles and grinned it out. Even though my feet and quads were just junk - period. The hill at the finish was just cruel.
Onward to the next effort this fall - after a nice little break. It's nice to celebrate the last year. Even though COVID changed things drastically, it was a pretty decent training year.
Official time: 3:49:14 (AG: 14/28, 159/286). Fast field - over 50 runners finished sub-3!
SO THANKFUL for the team I was fortunate to run with as they showed up early because of me and stayed to cheer me on - What an amazing group of people! Here's to a fun summer!
