Comments:

Course started out with rolling hills..go up a little, then down a little. Then the course kept going up up up up up..about 1.25 mile straight up hill. Knocked me out
What would you do differently?:

Nothing, it was a beautiful day! Eventually I'll lose weight and get my lung capacity back..then times will come down.
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of hill training...lungs still rebuilding from smoking all those years....overweight engine.

Event comments:

Typical firemen organizing an event. They only had list of people who registered online, no list of mail in entries. Then everyone was milling around about 100 yards down the course..so we all had to go back and search for the start line. BUT, in typical fireman fashion, the beer was on ice at about 7am and ready to go. I love firemen (in a non-sexaul type of way).
