Notes

This was a super fun event. Awesome course. I started off basically in the lead but around the mile Joe and one other guy started rolling. I held back and fell in with the chance pack. Me and one other guy broke away from the chase pack around mile 2. I made some moves to attempt to break him but I was unsuccessful and he ended up outkicking me the last 50m. I took 4th and won $200 and a donut, so I can't complain. I had a great cheering squad.

I honestly felt like absolute trash during the race. I couldnt fall asleep the night before and ended up only getting a few hours of pretty bad quality sleep. Probably in a bit better shape than what this race showed. Stoked for my half marathon in a week.

What was better... the $200 or the donut?

Dang, $200 for 4th? I gotta go to this race next summer haha! Where's your half?

@Janelle: They haven't sent me the money yet, so at this point, I must say the donut. @Caleb: They had prize money all the way through 10 places! Half is in Duluth.
