Wow what a beautiful day.  I had a great time and I got to meet Marion, Kim, Josee, Kelly.  Lots of shade, it wasn't hot, I felt great.  Goal was 2:2?.  So I did it.

mile 1 10:40

mile 2 10:33

mile 3 10:25

mile 4 10:20

mile 5 10:56 I was loosing satellite reception in the canyon during this mile and there is about .10 mile extra in this time.

mile 6  11:14 still loosing satellite here and this is about another .10 extra.

mile 7 14:28 line for the potty, and I didn't want to go in the woods because I knew I wouldn't be able to squat and I just needed to sit down to take care of business because I didn't know how long it would take.

mile 8 10:40

mile 9 11:06

mile 10 11:40 there were some extra hills plus I was slow at the water stop.

 mile 11 11:13 now this is just fatigue slowness but not too bad.

mile 12 11:29

mile 13(.92) Remember I lost reception and my mileage is shorter that it really was. 11:15

I couldn't see the seconds on my watch, I need to changed that, because you know I would have worked it to get the 2:24, especially since I was sooooooo close.  I feel great I loved it.

Laurie,

I am so glad you noticed the purple ponytail and came over to introduce yourself. I am so glad you had a great race. I'm not sure which race you were racing, I felt like it got HOT and wanted more shade! I guess you know how to look for the good in things better than I do.
