Notes
You gotta be crazy run in Verdi.
Race was 2 5k loops. First loop we took kinda easy. Steph was able to talk through most of it, and we kinda settled in and learned the course.
First lap was 35 minutes roughly...
2nd lap, Steph really pushed the uphill before 1 mile. There was a guy about 30 seconds ahead of us we were hoping to real in. Gained on the climb, but then he slowly pulled away on the flat...
With about 1.25 miles to go, there is a significant downhill. Steph pushed that pretty hard and not only passed the guy, but the gal in front of him. We never looked back, and stayed ahead of them to the finish...
Steph had been sick this week, and was still coughing a bit. But she gutted out a pretty good run.
Nice course, inexpensive race. I'd probably do this one again...
