Huntsville's Cotton Row Run is one of the Souths premier 10K's. This year it had 2045 finishers. The course is not designed for PR's with its three miles gradual climb to a steep climb, known simply as the "hill", after that its downhill back to downtown and the finish. I'm in the best shape I have ever been for this race and I was hoping to break 37 but the "hill" which effects both the 3 mile and 4 mile split had other plans and sucked up the seconds I needed to do so. Still I had my best finish ever, 5th Master, good for a $100 payday. I managed to hold off Emily Hardin once again, this time by 6 seconds and picked up some HTC grand prix points by placing 2nd local master behind George DeWitt.
Splits: 5:45, 6:01, 6:19, 6:15, 5:45, 5:55, 1:21
