The race was different than any I have ever run, the goal was not to run faster but to run our predicted times, I predicted 24:45.3 which would be about 8:00 minute miles a nice comfortable pace.

With the clock counting down everyone started at their predicted times and at the end we should all finish together, well I was surprised how we all came together the last quarter mile the first 89 finishers were within one minute of there time and the first twenty were within ten seconds, my time was 24:51.102 which is 5.802 seconds off my predicted time putting me 12th over all. I definitely give this race a J It was a lot of fun and I will do it again.
