ran crazylegs 8k 27:16, not sure how race was going to go as had missed 4/7-4/14 with the flu/lingering bad cough, splits were(5:30,11:10,16:37,22:05,27:16), 20th overall (out of over 10,000), route was from capital to wisconsin to langdon to obervatory to picnic point entrance then back via walnut to university to breese to camp randall, tried to start out slower so started behind women's leaders, talked to some guy for most of early race until top of bascom hill, then surged on a downhill and no one else did, so alone most of the rest of the way, slowly reeled other runners in, interesting seeing other parts of the race around the picnic point turnaround, rain after mile 2 with downpour close to mile 3 until mile 4, even some lightning around mile 3, definitely interesting finish in camp randall, lots of free stuff after, especially beer, ran into some other wtc runners, and chemEs such as gary, bill, jacob, and bob, warmed up from house a mile then driven to close to capital then warmed up another mile to start, cooled down a mile after talking to people, mid 50s and on and off rain, first race that ever ran with a wave start, luckily negotiated myself into wave A
