Notes
Not at all my best race effort. Fortunately, Rob and Olivia gave me more than sufficient cushion for the win and course record. My trail section was built to go out fast and survive on the way home. Much down and rolling hills the first two miles followed by working back uphill to the starting/ending point again.
Really struggling with extended long efforts. I think the heat had a factor, and a long few weeks with lots of stress. But I didn't give as solid and consistent of effort as I need to give for the entire race.
