Notes
Quad Cities Bix 7 bright and early. Legs didn't feel too good on the warmup and I had to poop really bad and only had 15 minutes to make it to the start but I'm glad I did otherwise I would have had to stop and poop. Race went out and I got into a good groove with Root. Tim was about 5 feet ahead of us the first 1.5 miles and then he dropped us. After that point some guy passed us at the 2 mile and then that was the last time anybody ever changed position. I dropped Root around the 2.5 mark but he was always right on my butt so I had some motivation to keep rolling. Got a 2nd wind at the turnaround and almost caught Tim but couldn't close the gap. Tim laid the hammer down Mile 5 which was the hardest for me but after I got a "3rd wind" I felt a lot better. Almost caught Corey Towle who is a Stevens Point alumni but he found a gear the last 200 meters right as I was about to catch him. Solid day for everyone! Tim ran 35:36 for 16th, I was 36:10 for 22nd, Root was 36:17 for 23rd, Thompson ran out of his mind and got 4th for us in 37:02 for 33rd, Janet was 37:04 for 35th, Ethan ran 37:30 for a big PR,Muth was 37:50, Webers foot acted up but he still ran 37:55, and then Reiling Lodi Zachdiz and Burkwald all came in together around 38:40.
