jerry's race.
a little rain, almost a chill in the air...perfect running weather. i saw one guy i recognized at the start, corey stelljas, so i knew i wasn't going to win this one. but, based on last year's results i had a good shot at the top 3.
at the start, corey took off not really to be seen again by me after about a mile. but, the same held true for the guy behind me and i cruised in for a second place finish. the best part was that i ran a 36:23, which is a pr. the third place guy pulled me aside after the race and said his garmin had the course 0.2 miles long, which, even if it only was aound 0.1 has me under 36 on a certified course. this course was nice and hilly, so this was a strong race for me.
there were no mile markers, and no one to run with, so i ran this one on feel...which is both encouraging and discouraging. i really think i could have gotten 20-30 seconds more out of the course but i started day dreaming a little in the middle. all in all, a fun race.
