Notes
Tough course but a nice race overall - the first mile was real hard with a large couple of hills .5 miles out of the gate - made for a brutal start. That first mile caught up with me around mile 4 and took me until around mile 8 to get back in my groove. All in all a good race. Back of my knee is still bugging me, but overall real happy with this race as I PR'd. Was hoping for around 1:10, but will take this considering the first mile and an overall tough course.
Official time: 58 out of 619 14/54 M4049 1:13:39/7:22
PS: Thanks Lance for the hill work this winter and your sweet hill advice - came in handy today for sure (although I must have sounded and looked like a damn freight train with my hard exhales) - did some good work on those bad boys today!!
