My very first race in about ten years and I placed 3rd in my age division! If that doesn't bring my spirits up then I can fall back on the fact that I finished under 30 minutes and completed the run. Let's not forget that the whole idea was to lose weight and I weighed in at 219.2lbs this morning. I have only 2lbs to go to reach 217lbs and drop below Delacruz's weight. (I know that I that I am already lighter than him but it still makes me feel good). The conditions were perfect. light drizzle, cool and almost no wind. The course was very challenging and a true cross country race. The course had dirt, sand, mud and grass that wound through ravines, trails and unimproved roads.
