      Nice, congrats on hitting (obliterating actually!) your goal! Like Kelly, you probably could have ran the first two miles slower. Looks like you "fought for it" on mile 4. Solid effort!

      If it's not a certified course, I just assume going in that it's going to be wrong.

      Find the proper hand placement for you, raise bar and lower to the band of your sports bra, dig legs in and drive on the up. simple.
      Nice effort on the weights.
