Strong headwind the whole way.  I was tired by mile 10, but it affected everyone.  It was sure fun to break the tape!  And I wore a crape paper flower crown for the last mile to celebrate my birthday :-)

Hey-Thanks everyone! It was a great day- altogether. Thanks for the birthday wishes, the cheers, and being awesome. I think it's probably a great course when the wind isn't so strong.

Fantastic race, birthday girl! I was so happy to see you running strong on the home stretch. I really think you would have nailed a 2:45 or better with better conditions (where was that tail wind). Very solid.
