10 mile time per my gps was 1:50.
Per stop watch was 2:09 and 11.74 miles. However I dont think I had to run around that many obstacles. Still waiting on chip time Thinks that gps needs re-calibration

Affected by the heat fo' sho I had run 6mi in 1:03 2 days prior in cooler early morning temps. I had to take on water at the stops so I just walked through the stops gross water...

Overall had a fun time, it was a fun race. The folks who had setup the beer and shot tent for runners seemed like a good time There was a woman exposing her lower self a bit after mile 2.5 I was running with my old boss and his wife and we both looked over to see a very neatly groomed not unattractive chick

Weird to see that many of the runners didnt give any encouragement to the walkers as they passed them?? I tried to give the hey good job, great pace and keep it up almost there type of stuff as I passed. I'd definitely do it again for sure I had a fun time, didnt really hang around much at the end (not a big fan of crowds). Got through the chutes, grabbed a few orange slices a some evil yellow fruit and water and boogied to the truck. Cleaned up and hit crazy burger for a salmon/pesto burger and a chocolate milk.

running the amica 13.1 august 19th so this was a good dress rehersal. 1. learned my nutrition was good. 2. learned to avoid whatever liquids they hand out on the course (kids handing out water, dirty hands ewww....ick.. grosss... bleh...). 3. 2 days prior have to do a shorter run than half the expected distance at a super slow/ recovery pace

Course overall is flat (ROLLING HILLS) which tend to be very diff. than a completely flat course as its described. I held back to mile 8 not having run the course then I hammered the last 2mi. (well hammered for me )

If anyone was out between miles 9-10 I was the guy shouting "Is this the way to the beer tent??"

Domination takes full concentration..
