This is my second running of the race, but the first time I did the ten mile race. Last year I did the 5 mile, and what a difference that makes… well I guess it is twice the distance.<\/p>\n
At the start I was pretty fresh, and ready to roll.<\/p>\n
The smug look of knowing you are going to eat up the rest of the field… again, before the race.<\/p>\n But when it is all over the results don’t reflect what the plan was. Was a little disappointed in the results, but still I had a good time. I did compare my split time to the 5 Mile results.. I would have placed much higher in the five mile… apparently (as is usual) the people that can really run enter the longer races, so my finish place falls rapidly.<\/p>\n The back of the race tee shirt.
