This was a fun run. I only wish it hadn't started almost an hour late. Going in I had no expectations since I haven't really been able to train, so I was really surprised to end with an AP of 7:30. My time of 1:38:27 is a new PR by 10 seconds. The down hill was really fast, I'll be interested to see how fast I can run this race with some consistant training. Felt pretty good most of the race, struggled a little the last mile or so.

It was fun to see Walter, Rad, Bec and others. Walters costume was the best!

Woo Hoo!! Congrats on the PR, I knew you'd do a great job. You can just count the last couple months as a 'taper' for better things :) WONDERFUL time on the race! AND I had a great time visiting for SO long in the lodge :)

Great job. I'm glad you knee is doing well enough for you to run that far and that fast.
