Notes
so basically it was 800 meter very gradual uphill a steep 150 meter hill to julien dubuque monument, and 50 meters flat to the turnaround. It went really well, except the men started off way too hard, I dropped back after 100 meters and they all roundly beat me the first one, but after that I was pretty strong. they all suffered on the hill. they would set a good pace but at the hill slow down a lot. it's funny catching people on the uphills because I'm not a great hill runner.
