...whoever laid out the course decided to challenge us by having us run up a 250' steep hill at mile 4.5. I couldn't even keep running it was so steep - I ended up walking to the top (7:53) and somehow staggered up another hill to the finish in a time of 38:52.
racerdb - Congratulations on your P.T. recovery. I had hoped to see you at the Greenville race. I like the Nike trainers you got your grandson!
Nice race! Yep I'll guess you'll be bumped up to first, as it should be.
I thought about banditing the race but decided to stay away from the race. From the Hyatt, I ran the back part of the course down to the zoo and up that nasty hill at 4-1/2, then down to The falls. Funny thing though, I ended up right behind the leader just as he was crossing the bridge! I quickly exited the course on the other side of the bridge.
I am thinking about the GHS HM and Reedy River runs next spring. Depending on fitness...
