Comments:

Ran with Katie the whole way again! I couldn't believe how lucky we got with the weather. Temps started in low 70s and got to low 80s, but we had enough trees and spotty clouds to make a huge difference. We felt strong the whole way and were able to speed up and decend our splits perfectly. We were thrilled with our overall time, especially being August.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around, stretched, ate breakfast burritos, and drank water.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Just more years of running this distance.

Event comments:

Not crazy about how many times we traveled the southern portion, but fine otherwise.

Course: A course on the east side of the lake. It covered some of the same area 3 times, though, which we didn't care for. We ran south to a turn-around, ran north to NW Hwy, west on NW Hwy a short distance until we got to the west side of the lake and then took the bike path back east and south all the way back down. We past Windfrey Point and continued south until that same turn-around point and then then headed back to Winfrey Point and uphill the last .10 to the parking lot.
