Notes

Perfect weather for the race... maybe a little windy. Forgot my watch so have no idea what my splits were like. I felt like I gave this one my all, but I just didn't hit the time I wanted. Don't think I could have pushed harder.

There was probably a mile on grass, and a bunch of sharp turns on a narrow bike path which made this a little less like a road race and more like cross country (though I've never ran cross country). I was talking to the second place guy who had a PR in the 16's and ran an 18 something today, he said he never runs fast on this course. It's new for me because usually I only consider hills/weather as factors that make a course difficult.

Oh yeah, the 4 spiked punch drinks, 2 beers, and lemon drop shot the night before probably didn't help...

No hamstring pain!!!
