This was a warm one here in Colubus, IN.  Humid and warm, and results across the board reflecteed that.  Two personal friends who are usually in the 2:30-2:40 range stuck it out for 3rd and 4th place overall in 2:50 each.  My race was similar.  Started out with an aerobic pace in the morning hours while it was still below 70 deg.  by 9 am it was climbing through mid 70s and finished up at almost 80 deg.

Half split - 1:29:33.  20 mile time - 2:21... I looked down at several 9 min. miles in the final 5k.  3:16:33, for what I think was about 10th place overall.  I did not win the Cummins Ram truck in the truck giveaway.  For the first year, the announcing people actuall read 3 people's names that were not present!  They just had to show up to the announcement, and they would have won a $50k truck!
