New race, nice and close to home, course along water so I could see across to Warren's Cove which was monster cool. Warm up felt good but right away could tell hills were a bigger issue than I thought. Feeling good at start, first mile perfect at 7:15 and that included a big hill at .5 miles. Tried to keep up pace for mile 2 and did @ 7:40 but really starting to fatigue from all the rolling hills, desperate to get to big downhill but it wasn't enough to really help with final slow upslope for remainder of race. Legs really dead at end and final steep downhill near finish was not helpful. Amazing to finish in 23:34 considering last mile was 8:14 yikes! Got 3rd really in age but wacky awards ended up with 1st in age which I will take! Did 1.5 cooldown and felt pretty good. Had to do a few hours of yardwork later in day which killed me.
