I didn't have a goal coming into this race. I just wanted to give a good effort and see how I felt after 13 miles because I'll be running double that next month. When I got to Riverton Park, the wind was 15 MPH which isn't fun to race in. Miles 4-11 had a pretty good head wind and some good uphill parts. It was tough. But overall, I'm happy with my performance and was able to pass the number one guy at mile 11 so I was the first overall human. I won a gift basket that had a sweet Riverton coffee mug and an XL t-shirt. 6:26 AP for the race.

I love that they were expecting the race winner to need an XL shirt.
