Notes
19:54 official race time. Very hilly course, but totally changed from the route last year. Mile 2 was up and downhill, downhill was on dirt, but not sure why it was so slow? Some headwind. Very nice weather. Sunny, cold in the early morning at 39 degrees at home at 6:00 am, warmed up to 43 by 8, 46 by 9, and 55 by the time I drove home around 11. Should be 63 later in the day? I wore shorts and a tech-T top plus black singlet over it. Took off the long sleeve top at the last minute before the race started. Left myself 30 minutes to warm-up 2 miles and make last minute wardrobe decisions, and with an extra bathroom visit at the last minute, that was cutting it too close. I ran without socks but was planning to put some on; not enough time. Indoor house painting has been going on all week at home, unsure to what extent that impacted my race time, if at all? My BP and pulse have been slightly elevated all week. BP was up 12 points or more this morning from where it should be normally.
