In short: My time was terrible but I believe I raced very well. While my fitness isn't where it should be and it was ridiculously hot, I had a great racing mentality and made very good tactical decisions during the race. I love this race and will run it every year regardless of my fitness. I ran 28:07 with a last mile of 5:18 which is very encouraging--I think with a bit more training I would have PR'd for the course tonight. My 52nd place finish was my highest ever in a competitive field so I can't complain. The Michelob Ultra tasted as good as always after the race. Now time to get back to training!
