Highlander 12. Started off well behind the pace set by John F. Leaders out of sight by 1. Back to 1st place at 4 due to a few mistakes by others, but then Jon T. passed me for good - last saw him leaving the 1st exchange, and he ran the trail run almost 5 minutes faster than I did. I think I ran the 2nd and 3rd loops a little easy - I had a heel blister & some chafing, but was also just not pushing that hard. It helped by the end as I ran the last loop okay with only a little bit of cramps theatening. Running the next two days was fine, not really sore at all.
Only 6 GU's this year (and some banana bites) vs. 7 GU's 2 years ago.
