Comments:

Ran with Mark. He did a great job of pushing me just enough. I pretty much felt like I gave what I had to give. He took off toward the top of the last hill and just didn't have it in me to keep up.
What would you do differently?:

Not be sick for the week or two prior to the race. Otherwise, nothing
Post race
Warm down:

Ran 1.5 miles home, easy pace

Event comments:

This was a no frills local neighborhood race. Great venue and close enough to home to run to and from for a total of about 5 miles. I'm quite pleased with 5th place out 38 in my age group. Probably the best AG place I've had.
