There was someone about 10 seconds behind me, but I blew him away in the final .2 miles when I was kicking at a 5:30 pace.

There were a couple people handing out water. They were behind the photographer. There are not very many spectators at a 3 PM, weekday race. People were mainly taking off work early to run the race.

I meant spectators, the RD.  There is nobody around that picture.  I read your RR, you outkick them alright.
