I never tire of this race! glad it was not pouring rain again this year, felt pretty good. I started a bit slow, was 30 secs slower than last year but overall had a stronger race I think because I was getting faster the last few miles and last year I was definitely slowing down the last miles. Just started too slow, bit sluggish I guess. Here are the splits: 7:35 8:19 (up hill to GG Bridge) 7:25 over bridge, probably spent too much time looking at ocean) 6:30 turned it up (bit downhill too)
7:19 these next 3.5 miles a flat burn, this is where I tried picking people off, pushed it 7:16 7:08 7:12 (pace last .56 up and over fort mason hill to finish) I used my garmin time and distance because they don't use timing chips here.
Well, bros need to come out next year!
