Notes
Decent race. May have gone out too easy on the first half. I thought I'd get to the bottom of the hill turnaround at 9:00 to 9:05. I missed lapping my watch at the turnaround but not by much and when I did hit the lap button it was a 10:03! I though for sure my sub-20 was blown but I managed to run a little harder and break 20 by the skin of my teeth.
GPS splits show the first 1.565 miles in 9:51 and 2nd in 10:07 so I really did well on the 2nd half of the course. I feel pretty sure of a sub 19:50 on a flat course right now. Not great but slowly getting back. Comparison of previous year splits show that my slowdown coming back up the hill to the finish was much less pronounced.
