Comments:
Good but not great. It wasn't as fast a result as I'd hoped but that's probably a sug-16 effort on such a winding course. It resembled more of a x-country course than a road race.

This was a fun atmosphere to race in though as I had runners (real runners) around me the whole time.

There were a few points during the race, most notably around the 3k mark, where I had the chance to chase after a pack but chickened out. This whole year I haven't raced with the confidence and aggression that I had last year. However, I'm not down on my self, I'm just being honest.

I misjudged where the finish was and should have kept kicking. I may have lost those miserable three seconds in the last 40 m or so. But again, there's no reason to be hard on myself.

I came in 7th overall and 1st in my age group. Almost everyone ahead of me were under 20 years old. Maybe I'm one of the few 30 year olds still chasing the dream.

One more week of running left until I take my annual break.
