97F -> 88F.  Whew, these things are getting harder...both the courses and the temperatures.  Pretty well-paced again, moved up 3 spots in the second half of the race.  This was the most technical so far - feet feel bruised up a little thanks to all the jagged rocks.  My shoes have a rock plate but not a very substantial one I guess!  ow
