Set a new personal record. Will give full report later. It is later... For starters friday afternoon was a joke getting packets. Very unorganized and late. It took an hour to get the packet. The race started 30 minutes late and it is already a late start scheduled for 7:15. So that means that it was hot at the end. I started off with the idea that I was going to kill the top. I soon decided to pull back and go with the body. I only looked at my Garmin at the 5k (20:29) and 10k (42:20). I was afraid that I was doing worse than expected and didn't want any self doubt talk come in. I did well till you get on the path. Rolling hills took some out of me. After mile 11 I started to pick the pace up and was actually feeling somewhat energized. The Jolly Rancher must have been the trick. It was fun actually passing some runners at the end of a race for once. Get to the finish...no shirts. They were out. I loved the course but not the organization....I will leave it at that. Splits: 6:19/ 6:45/ 7:03/ 6:55/ 6:52/ 6:58/ 8:01/ 7:46/ 7:50/ 8:00/ 8:11/ 7:51/ 7:40/ 5:24 Top 96 men 10th in age group PR
