This is only the second time I have run this course. The last time was in 2005. My time then was a 2:02. I wasn't sure what my expectations were for this race. I told myself I'd be happy with a 1:55. I didn't think I would run any faster than that. So, I was pretty happy with my race effort!
It was a pretty cool morning. We had to drop off our extra clothing pretty early on, so I was just in my shorts and singlet for quite awhile before the race started.

All in all, I am very pleased with my race efforts!
