Nice job. How'd it feel?

Thanks! Felt pretty good, challenging course, but hills weren't really as tough as I expected. Overall great experience.

I 100% agree about the hills, I was wondering where those killer hills were!!

Great job!

This hills are only killer if you have pushed too hard before them. Nice run.

In 2008 they almost killed me, my other 3 years I felt like they were pretty tame.
