Really had a great race. Two big accomplishments: (1) Beat my time from 2 years ago by over 8 minutes, and beat my goal time of 3 hours. (2) Besides the water stops, no walk breaks, including running all hills of the 3rd Central Park loop. Didn't think I'd be able to do that.

Rain was very annoying. Bit hard in first hour, then tapered off a bit, then hard again at end. Shoes and socks waterlogged and also had to wring water out of my shirt much of the race. Hopefully no blisters, but we'll see.

    Great Tune Up Scott, beating your goal. We've all definitely graduated in the "running in the rain" category.
