This is the first time I've done this race. It was decent. My plan was to keep up with the rooster, but he was just too fast from the get-go. I wish I had my watch working so I knew my splits, but that first mile was in the low 5's, I think. The rest of the race I just went back and forth with people and never felt that I was moving that well. But in the end, my time was 36:19 or something, which was faster than my goal, so that's good. I competed best with people when it was flat or uphill rather than downhill. So I think I need to work on my speed more, as usual. Big congrats to rooster and allie and others who ran so well.

great job, steve. way to beat your goal time.

thanks for the shout-out on foothill. i was definitely hurting when i saw you, and i had little motivation to move because the leaders had not yet come into view. your encouragement helped a ton, though. thanks.

Great job Steve! That is a great time. I need to come up and run that race sometime. Do you think it is faster than the Spectrum course?

From Steve Piccolo on Mon, Jul 26, 2010 at 12:21:43 from 155.101.243.223

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's faster than Spectrum because there is only like a total of 1 mile that is flat or uphill whereas in Spectrum I seem to remember at least two miles that are not downhill. I think you would be fast on it.

Great job Steve! that was fast! I was planning to run that this year but wasn't able. Maybe I'll see you at TOU half.

really nice job, that is an incredible time for the first time running on that course. if you had stuck with me the first two miles you would have beat me at the end for sure. nicely done.
