Temperature was perfect for the race, however it was super windy throughout the race. I think the lowest the wind ever was was 15mph and the majority of the race was at 20 or higher. Started out slow about 7:05 first mile then progressively picked it up. Got the average mile pace under 6:45 until mile 10 when the hills came and the last into the wind section (the final 5k!). I was in position to place in the age group but did not have any kick left into the wind those final miles. Overall happy that I broke 1:30 again new PR and legs are feeling pretty good.

Awesome race! Great to see that you were able to pull it in under 1:30 and get a PR in that kind of wind. Running in that is NOT easy. Nice work.
