Ricky whipped out a 4th place overall, I managed 9th place overall at the Dirt Dash Half Marathon. Beautiful course, but still way too hot. Given the conditions, I was quite happy. I hope they try this one again next year with one small change...
Next year make it an actual half marathon. Did we mention that the course was not certified? The race director was willing to confess that it was measured with a car's odometer. We polled four folks (each wearing a Garmin) at the end. Everyone had over 13.2 miles (13.21 to 13.26).
Admittedly, given the weather, it was not going to be a fast day to begin with (winning time was around 1:24). But an extra tenth of a mile is enough to make you throw out the time. Chalk one up for tactical experience.
Plan to make it tomorrow, but will probably only go 8 to 10 miles. See everyone at 6:30.
