Notes
It was just a tough warm day out there with no shade and no breeze.
I felt like I gave it a pretty decent effort the entire way. Max jumped out fast and he was definitely faster today. I saw Leigh jump out fast ahead of me also, but I was trying to hold back to 7:40-7:50 at the start and be patient. Passed Leigh on about mile 5 when she started to slow.
It's a tough climb in the heat from the apartments to Stop 30, all up hill.
2-3 minutes slower than last year, but last year there was a hard rain that cooled things off just before the start.
But my focus is Grandmas Marathon and this made it 21 marathon paced miles since Friday afternoon. Should get another quality week in this week with 80+ miles.
