Decent effort this morning on a hilly mostly trail course.  Goal was sub-21 and I had to hesitate a couple times due to limited course marshals and having a lead horse as a guide.  Horse and buggy lead vehicle on this gorgeous plantation was a great idea on paper... not so much in practice.  Within first 400 meters 5-6 of us were out in front of the beast and had to keep looking back for direction - kinda silly, but everyone was good natured about it.

Trav took the win in the high school 5K in yet another hot hilly race and yet another 17 flat effort - I seriously expected closer to 18 on the day, so he did great.

Good racing all around. How hot is it? Don't they race in the morning?

The community 5K was at 0800, not too bad. Girls 5K went at 0930 and the guys didnt race until 1015 in full sun and probably 85° - bleh. Worst of all though is that they sent the middle schoolers off on their 2-Mi at 1100 sheesh
