Race: MLK Drum Run (3.107 Miles) 00:17:30, Place overall: 4
Total Distance

Crazy race. The starting line was 100meters wide like a cross country start. We even started out with a 400meter sprint across a huge field in Piedmont Park (the meadow) narrowing into a short steep hill. After that it was mostly road, winding through the park with bike marshalls yelling at each other to change the configuration as we navigated the different loops.

After the little climb I was in about 20th place but I could see a large lead group of 10 people. I fought like mad from about 500m to 1 mile to close the gap to the leaders. I picked off a couple of people dropping off the pack and had almost made contact when I reached the mile (5:34) in 7th place. The mile mark was at a top of a long hill and I guess this was the point that the top guys decided they were going to break it open. The top three guys pulled away, but I still managed to move into 4th.

Two guys stayed with me until about mile 2 (11:04) but then I started to open a little gap. I thought I would have a shot at sub 17 but somehow the last mile was really slow. Turns out most of the people I was running against were teens, which makes for an intense race.
