Notes

Decided at the last minute to run this one completely naked (unplugged). The scramble start across the field was a new experience for me. I was just trying to avoind getting trampled, it seemed like everyone there was a "serious" runner. Then I had to avoid getting skewered by an open gate, and ended up hurdling a random barricade somehow place in the route before getting to the road. I went out too fast as my first mile was 7:01 (they had people at each marker). so, I slowed down and hit mile 2 @ 14:39, 3 @ 21:42 (marker seemed to be placed a little short), the mile 4 (which seemed long) was hit at 30:49, and I finished over the river and throught the woods to the last 300M on teh HS Track @ 38:37 (my goal for this race was 38:00). Overall I felt this was a great race with a strong effort and I loved the freedom of running un-plugged and still seemed to nail the effort.
