Race 3 of 3 on the day. Finished in a surprising 2nd place. Not sure how my body held up and how i didnt get smoke by the younger kids. My plan was to get wooden choo choo train award. They give those out to top 3 and 1st master. So was strategically planning the race. Figured i was actually going to be 5th or 6th at most. Which ment Id be fighting more for masters then a top 3. I stayed back as i did previous race and let the young ones go. I passed them up pretty quickly. My buddy who won was out in front the whole time with ease. his lead grew with each step. Anyway i after a couple tenths no more then a half mile. I was in 3rd, somehow not totally sure how. From there was planning to draft as long as I could. Gradually I overtook 2nd without trying. That was somewhere in the 1-1.5 mile range. Went with it. Id take 2nd as long as I could hold it. As hit rail trail I splashed water on me and took one gulp. The rail trail was rough. Well rough for 2 reasons. was little soft and muddy because of rain earlier in day. But it also beat me up. The whole time on it I wanted to give up and for race to be over. The race is half road and half rail trail. The farther we went the more tired and slower I got. From leg fatigue and going around soft spots on trail. Was waiting for someone to overtake me so I could drop back. No one did. Not sure how close anyone was as i was running. I looked back at 2ish miles before hitting rail trail to see i had good 20-30 seconds. Then only looked back couple tenths from finish. Saw no one behind me so I was able to relax coming into the finish line. Mission accomplished on the wooden train and a top 3 again not sure how.

Race #2 on the day. Finished 3rd overall. That was as best as I could do. Started behind the speedy looking teens. Let them do thier thing. Slowly passed them up. By time we turned on the Flood Memorial Road i was 7th. Picked a couple off on straight away, one going around the 1st parking lot and another going up the hill to the second parking lot. Didnt have anything else to muster to try and catch the top 2. Im not anywhere near back to that speed yet. felt goof overall though. Its uphill basically all of 1st half of the race.
