Notes
Mud wasn't as bad as feared, after yesterday and last night's deluges. Official time 1:11:06, I think, which is about 8 minutes less than last year. BUT course may have been shorter? Garmined at 5.21, and I'm pretty sure last year's was closer to 5.4. Didn't notice any different bits, but then again, it's been a year.
Felt good throughout. Pileups at the usual areas--got past some folks at some of them, stayed ahead of a few.
Wore Nike print capris, blue Indy runners t, white MC bra, white Mini cap. Old Asics shoes--feel weird now, but no bad effects that I can tell.
Love this race!
Splits:
13:38 (was at 11:16 pace when first pileup at stairs occurred...two full minutes there!)
14:06 (and...another pileup at creek crossing. then another at underpass...)
13:21
13:05
12:59
3:19 for last .21, at 16:06 pace (walked last hills and staircase)
