Not the race I wanted to run; way hillier than anticipated and my PF acted up some. But I finished and it was still a 6 minute PR. I met Troy, a fellow DM'r, really nice guy, and he ran a great race! I need to run some more hills...
Full race report to come later...

Congrats man on your PR...always want to strive for better...but the area over in High Point just means hills plain and simple...wicked area for a long distance race. Way to stick it out with you PF! You should be proud! Enjoy some cold ones!

Well, congrats on the PR at any rate... But yeh, I can dig why you're not happy with that... And I don't know that course but I still think you are MUCH faster than this over the distance. You could come to CLT in a few weeks and try the Racefest half if you're so inclined.

Jay, you are throwing time off by minutes! I'm still convinced you're a sub 1:30 just waiting to bust out on the right day. Great effort today though considering the terrain and the PF.

@Chaz and Mark: I know I'm much faster, I've run the distance in sub 1:40 just in training. Today just wasn't my day. There will be others...

Outstanding on the PR Jay, can't really ask for much more than that. Feeling you could have done more just gives you even more to work towards next time.

Sorry you didn't have the race you wanted, dude. I've been there in my last 2 races (MCM and HAT). It'll get better for both of us, if we're ever allowed to race! Always cool to meet other DailyMilers too. Keep your head up. Great PR that will be broken!
