Notes
just under 6 pace . some wind going up hill slowed first mile and was about 10th at .5 mile and really wanted top 3 for this race. knew to not push the hill too much but make sure not lose too much ground. passed 2 on hill and on the back side got the bigger group and moved into 3rd. really could not close the gap on second but could see him the whole way. legs started slowing with .5 to go and then heard someone behind me say get him and another tell me he is coming so just dug a little deeper to keep 3rd and collect some cash.
Loved this race and they played Irish national Anthem which people did not know as I was the only one with my hat off and over heart to Irish flag. Irish music all day long there, kinda in my real happy place. Got to hang with Ralph Vigor and Chris Reilly after race. This is going on calendar!!
