Despite a fairly congested first few miles, I was pretty revved up about the event.

At about 60% of the way, I made a few more over-takes... See the next photo too for the outcome of this attempt.

Actually, are those in the right order? If not then... I guess that I was saving a little for a sprint on the home-straight.

Here's the obligatory shot in front of the dome. It's a beautiful campus and I'm so grateful to Ian; he came and took heaps of photos and even offered me chocolate at mile nine!

And here I am with metres remaining and blowing hard. I emptied the tank here and probably looked totally crazy doing it. (But loved that bit of the race the most!) Thanks Ian and especially: thanks Cat! Now let's plan our approach to the next big race in Indy.

The times aren't out yet; I think that I ran something like 2 hours. I'm hoping that I'll be on the lower side of that mark. When I find out, I'll post it in the comments.
