Notes
Pretty pleased with the season debut. 23s faster than last year on this course. If there was one segment of the race I would want to do over it would be the start. Was not aggressive enough off the gun and ended up having to fight and weave through a bunch of casuals for the entire first mile to finally pack up with Austin. Came through that first mile almost right on pace but used a lot more energy than needed. Second mile through the trails was a bit slower(11:15). Had a nice pack with my boys Will and Atune at my side. Made a decision to start pushing from there as soon as we hit gravel and had some guys come with me. The group was taking scalps left and right through the third mile. Lost focus a bit at around 5k, but had enough of a close to duck under 21 minutes officially for the first time.
