PRd with 2:01:56

I knew if I wanted a sub-2:00, I needed to hit Orchard around 1:10. Missed it by around 5 minutes at 1:15.

I was thinking on the way up if there's anything I could have done differently during the race but I knew there wasn't anything I would regret. I think I raced well for what my abilities were at that point in time.

I was passed on the way down by at least 5 people, but I was able catch 3 and pass them before the finish. One was on Baldwin and I raced him down. When he slowed down I yelled to him not to stop because he was going to keep me going. But he said he didn't have anything left and to keep going. I love the people at this race!

8.6

Second run in my new gloves was 8.6.

Mental notes - 9:30 to the trail head
34:00 to First Water (9:30 minutes faster since my times have been 34:00 from Mira Monte).
Continue up to Orchard 1:16:33
Down 49:28
8.6 miles = 2:06:01
Lets see what I can shave off on race day... no dogs, no hikers, no trekking poles.
