Home recovering from the race and I can say it was not a PR course. I was upset with myself at first but now that I look back at it, what do I have to be mad at? I can tell that the hill workouts have paid off. The race had 2 big hills and I went up them, called them some names and then looked back and said goodbye.
The race started a little late at 9:15 but it was still somewhat humid. I went out for my prerace warmup and ran the course. When the race started I tried to watch my watch to make sure I did not go too fast. Here are my splits:
Mile 1: 8:52 HR 159
Mile 2: 8:48 HR 167
Mile 3: 8:50 HR 171
Last .08: 8:48 HR 175
I think I was about 2 seconds from passing out. I can honestly say I gave it my all. I did not get a PR but I did so much better on the hills.
Congrats to Michelle Archer and Sam for new PRs tonight. It was a hard course and the hard work has paid off for some people. I am still trying and hoping for cooler weather.

Great job Tim! The race started late for 2 reasons: 1. It was advertised to start at 9:00 on the race app but on active.com at 9:15. Oops! and 2. We had that wheelchair competitor who needed to start considerably earlier than everyone else. Glad you had a great race..
Great job on the race. Those are some awesome splits!!!!
