This race is a perfect distance for just about anyone. Great for those wanting to run really fast for a short distance and great for those new to fitness because it's not a long race.
It was a pretty cold morning in the 40's, but not too cold. Juli and I ran 5 miles before the race as a warm up.
I started the race feeling light on my feet. I found that the last hill that really bothered me last year wasn't so bad. I received a new record time of 16:15 beating last year by almost a full minute. To my surprise I placed 2nd in my age group. However this year only 1st in each age group was recognized. Guess I have to work harder.
After running so hard I wasn't sure that I'd be able to run 10 more miles with Juli. We both needed a 17 mile run for our marathon training.
I will not lie, the next 10 miles were very hard to complete but we both pulled it off.
Some pictures are below. Results are here:
