So Yes I am very happy with this race. I guess the key is to just not care how you do and then the nerves calm down and you race better.
Started out the morning driving up with my sister. We got lost thanks to googlemap, so I arrived at the start when the last busses were leaving. I got on to the last bus with people still waiting for the 1st bus to come back down to get them. I was not going to wait. So I was alittle frazzled. Got up to the start and saw all my fastrunningblog friends, warmed up about a half mile and then the race started. Once again my garmin was not working properly, it keep losing satillite. So I fool with it to turn off the auto pause. So my first 3 splits I don't have. And I never really knew my running time the whole race, I assumed I was about 3 mins. off, which it turns out it was 2:36 off.
