pit times ranged from 2-9min depending on what had to get done. my parents were crewing for me so in general i was not in a hurry and took extra time to chat/take pics/etc.
comfortable temps, 30s, all night. started in Speedcrosses but the toe was unhappy, switched to the rehab shoe on Lap 2 and it was good enough to stay in. laps 1 and 2 i was in a weird place, really concerned about toe, and in general not talkative or optimistic. Carrie ran w me on lap 3, and turned my frown upside down. lap 5 i caught Dwayne and Adam and hiked the back half w them. lap 6 it started misting/freezing, super slick everywhere. lap 7 was thunder/lightning/hail/rain. gear was nails though so no worries! lap 8 was just gettin it done. i finally got desensitized to toe issue about lap 6 and was v pleased to discover legs were awesome. tired, sure, but ready and willing to work.
Jeff stormed the course for the overall win, 10 laps in 11:32. stud. David in 3rd w 8 laps. me in 4th overall about 1hr behind David. Dwayne and Adam w 30 miles each. pretty badass for 2 dudes who don't run!
