Comments:

very very happy with my run, the hills slowed me down a little, but I felt great and strong. Biking in KY as definitely helped. I tried to run real fast down the hills and the flats and I think it paid off.

Warm down:

met Jim and the kids and walked back to KY over Purple People Bridge. Walking helps.

Event comments:

This has been the third time I've run the half pig, each time getting faster, so that's good. I like this course, a bit hilly but thats ok

Great run!  I used to live in KY, and when I first started cycling, my run times really improved also.  Nice job!
