22nd place
I signed up for this race 30 minutes before gun time, and didn't expect a great time. I ran 15 miles yesterday and have been feeling a little sore in the past few weeks, these fast runs not helping too much. Plus, a few friends were in town for the weekend, and the BBQ yesterday probably wasn't the best fuel to race on.
But 5 of us hiked over there together to share the experience. The weather was great for the race, and there was a decent crowd at the start. I recognized some fast feet on the line, and knew there would be some fast finishers. The first half ran along the waterfront, up a short hill, then across the main street up another hill. From there, it was all downhill and fast to the finish. I liked the course because that first half kept my pace in check, but left me feeling good enough for a decent kick.
True to the name, we all enjoyed a Guinness at the Finish. Thanks to Stella Blues for hosting us. It's a great place to visit when it's not packed with runners.
