I really shouldn't have run this race, I was super sore and still a little injured, so I figured I would show up and jog it. But that went out the window right at the start as I was bouncing down the trail with Carl nad everyone else. I figured I would push it if I could, and I was feeling it really bad in my hammies up every hill, but it was still fun to rin. I got passed by Amber ond somebody else on the uphill but I passed the other guy at the top, must have nuked himself on that last climb. I never passed Amber again but she took the long way, she probably would have beaten me by 20 seconds or so if she had stuck to the course. Compensating for last year's longer course, I was about 2 minutes slower overall, and I biffed it in exactly the same place. I could barely walk for the rest of the day, I think it's time to hang up the shoes and recover long term. Now shifting to operation Steve Austin, to double leg strength by New Year's day! I have 31 training sessions to go with the UCLA dude. Ow.
