First race since Desnews. I figured I should lace them before I give SGM a go next week. This course was a super cool double loop course with lots of turns, rolling hills, dirt, and several varieties of animals. Splits 5:09,5:18 and around 5:30. The winner who finished about 10 seconds in front of me was quite intimidating because he was wearing a red, white and blue wrist band. Hopefully nobody shows up with one of those next week. Best of all my hamstring held up ok and I probably got my heart rate up over 170 which hasn't happened a lot lately. Oh, and for anyone curious to know, James is alive and well. Spent the rest of the day moving out of my house to a different house about 2 miles away. It was exhausting but well worth it because now I will be able to say that I don't live in the same zip code as I group up. You will know it's my house because you get to step on a flagstone rock I won in the Mesquite Marathon on your way to the hose.
