Went to packet pick up yesterday and the guy there said I probably should get to the shuttles at 6:00 so I did but then I had two hours before the race up at the start. I talked with one of the Skyridge coach's, Gill, he's really cool. Also met Kenny from the blog. The race was super downhill so originally my goal was to go 6:30 average but then my first 10 miles were all sub 6. After about 10 miles though it got tough mentally but I don't think any of my miles were above 6:30. There was about 150 feet ascent and of course that's all in the last 1.5 miles so that also took away energy. I ended up thirteenth and third in my age group behind Kenny the Apache and Jacob Warner with a time of 1:19.25. Fun race but my legs are very tired and my calves hurt. Got a medal for being third in my age group with a quote from Gandhi on it so that's pretty exciting. Also exciting was seeing Ryan Raff.
