Notes
Norris dam hard 25k
Did this race for a huge stimulus and hopefully a bump in fitness in a couple weeks. Knew I wasn't fully ready for it with the hills and the distance but wanted to suffer some. Ended up suffering a little more then I expected. Based on last years results I was banking on 2:10-2:20 on a good day maybe 2:30. The course did run slower it seems then last year so that helps some feel better but still alot longer out there then I thought. Lost to Michael Morrell by 33 minutes so that was a ton. Started off ok I felt for the first 2/3rds of the race but when got to 90 minutes started to feel it. Lost the guy I was running with and then was reeled in by the second girl. From there it just got uglier. Last couple miles was a lot of walking as I just had no energy to push. Glad I did it though!
