Got to the buses and organized the pacers and got their gear together and some instructions.  Then Got the Go Pro cameras out and on 5 of the 10 lucky pace groups. Got on the buses and headed up to the start and I was 20 minutes from starting time. The line to the porta potti was a good 30 or more minutes long so I took off for the bushes. I saw they had a campground so I went to look for a bathroom there. Walla! A good one with no wait. I did my business and paper work and then headed for the start.  I should have stripped down to a singlet but I chickened out so I had my singlet over the shirt.  I took off at the start and the pack of 4 fast runners seperated from us pretty quick. I stayed about 5-10 seconds behind them to mile 1 when I did a 5:19.  I felt like I was pushing hard for this time. I honestly was expecting 5:08 or so. I kind of fell back to 6th postion till a few miles and then Albert and another guy passed me and I used them as a wind shield for a bit and then passed the one up to get to 8th overall. I pretty much stayed like that the whole way.  I love the turn around mile 9.5 with the horses! So cool! They love to run along side of the field with you. So cool! I then started falling back off pace a bit. I was struggling for a 5:45 the last 3 miles. I had one mile that was 5:54. Steve Anderson was awesome! He mounted a go pro camera to his jeep and was driving up and down the course cheering us on.  At mile 11 he ran with me for about a quarter mile. I was extremely tired at that point. I worked to hard this week with concrete work and long hours.  Body is not used to that.  Got all the pacers in on time and they had a blast carrying the cameras! I cant wait to edit it into a clip!  This event was part of the USATFLDR circuit so I won cashola for 1st in masters.  It was great weather and the winner hit a 1:07 on the course. Smoking fast! I find it pretty difficult.
