Notes
2018 Bix 7. I also finished 668 of 1797 of the male masters group. I ran this with very little in the way of base work. I ran the entire way. Around the midpoint I was feeling it. I hit the short, steep hill between miles 3 and 4 and recovered well for the long climb back up Kirkwood. I did not run Brady's downhill anywhere near as hard as I ran it last time, but I had almost five more months of base work that time before running it.
Object in my left foot resulted in a moderate blood blister. It should come out soon. My heel hurt during the post race party. Both are now feeling okay. I do have sore muscles and stiffness, due to lack of base work.
Next year's goals: place under 2,500 overall, under 100 in my age group, under 1,500 for my gender, and under 500 for the male masters group.
