Well, we did it! It was HOT and HUMID. Much more so than I had prepared for. My stretch goal was to go sub 22 mins and acceptable goal was 24 mins. I didn't make either - 25:46. I am going to attribute that to the heat though - it killed me.

With that said, I had figured based on past results that 24 is what it would take for me to get in the top ten of my division. I did make the top ten - #10 baby!!!!!

At the end a guy pulled up next to me and said, "lets go". We sprinted to the finish. I KNOW I could have pushed it more. Apparently all that speedwork paid off - both in speed and digging deep because I beat him out by a fraction of a second to get the #10 spot. It was awesome (in hindsight).

Brenda came in with a "hella-sprint" at the end too. She came in #9 in her division!

Wicked cool.
