So you actually were in the lead before the last loop, but Z-man punched it home just a little bit faster. Close battle!
Yep. I was fighting to keep my legs going. I wasn't wearing my HR monitor for these races so I can't know for sure whether I was maxing out or not. Certainly felt like I couldn't go any faster.
Don't forget that benefited from not having to run the sprint the day before... good job on the long legs though...
