Was a tough race for me. Very humid conditions made this a long day. I ran well despite
this but at mile 18 I could feel the wheels starting to fall off. By mile 20 I was spent
and just shuffled the best I could to the finish line. I had some other issues going
into this race that I'm sure had a negative impact on my race. Had a cold all week
and into race morning. Also have been having lower back issues past couple weeks.
Very happy with the master win and the extra $500.00 in my pocket. Course was super
flat and fast. Loved the support from the locals and the finish line was the best I have
ever seen. We finished inside the Fargo Dome. Large jumbo screens in each corner
showing each runner as they came into the dome. My parents and girlfriend were waiting
inside for me. Awesome to have them there for the support. Thanks guys!
So I'm done with road marathons for a while. Time to hit the trails! Looking forward
to the change of scenery.
