Notes
First day of GLR - first leg, up against Brendan -- A3. Leg was listed as 9.0, but ended up being 9.5. Tough to gauge pace on this. First few miles were easy - middle three miles were uphill, sandy and slow - tough running. Once we popped out of the woods we were on the streets for the last mile. I was chasing down people and noticed on the last uphill that someone was very close to me which put a little pep in my step. The last couple miles were some of the fastest miles I have run in a long time. I passed four or five people in the final mile and held off the guy chasing me down. I think the last 1.4 miles were under 8 minutes (<5:40 pace) so I was moving on the streets and felt great. Dry heaved across the exchange
