Notes
Don't actually know what my time was, didn't wear a watch and haven't seen results.
Felt good through the first mile, running eith the front pack, and went after the two leaders with about .75 to go. The leader and winner was Alayna sonnesyn who is beastly Wayzata alum and D1 runner/skier out east. She killed it today and that was fun to see. She's 4 years behind me, and led Wayzata to their NIKE national championship a few years back. Second place went to a 2016 Wayzata grad, young gun, who has some nice fitness to her right now.
I was comfortably 3rd, the first old fart, and felt good and strong racing, so I was really happy with it.
Course was on the soccer fields and then down though a long lollipop on wayzatas wood chip trails. It poured yesterday and poured all morning and during the races, and the course was extremely muddy and slippery. People were going down all over the place and I was very happy with my decision to wear spikes!
A very fun day, as always.
