Comments: A unique race, a nice way to show off the areas primary attraction. I feel like this lake and area could host a triathlon is someone were so inclined. What would you do differently?: Well I got my PR and broke 22:00-barely. I guess secretly I wanted to shatter that barrier, not slip under by 2 seconds but I got it. Learning to hold a very hard pace for a sustained time, the age old pacing problem. A 6:32 start is nice but maybe holding a consistent 6:50 would have been smarter? Post race
Warm down: same-it was a cool morning so it didnt take long, hung around for awards and waited for the shuttles to return my warm up jacket and pants that I had wore when I ran across the dam and stashed on the buss What limited your ability to perform faster: This was my PR and one of my goals was met so I guess nothing. I ran with a kid who won his age group-I should thank him, had he not been there I might have been alone for over a mile with a large gap ahead and behind me which might have slowed me down-chasing him down, running with him, then passing him gave me something to do till the finish line finally arrived Event comments: Fun place, fun people, I have been racing locally long enough to start knowing people and making connections so it is less lonely than it used to be.
