shoes: NB Minimus Ionix 3090
5 Peaks Rattlesnake Point.
Just made the top 10 and also just managed not to be chicked, so can't really complain.
Tried to start slow, then ramp it up and pick people off. Possibly started a little too slow, since when I passed the kid at the 5k mark, I was pretty much on my own until the final km - hard to keep the intensity high.
Got a great boost from some ARKers in the final km. I love that I seem to get a cheer squad at local races now :)
Slower pace and further behind the leaders than last year, guess a longer course, wetter trails and a later night will do that.
