I LOVE THE BIRKIE. Three minutes too slow for elite wave but who cares. Most fun race ever. Felt awesome until I tried to go fast at 45k but pushed through it and did pretty respectably. Won the second wave. Arches hurt so bad i couldn't walk after but got better fairly quickly.
Pretty good race. Solidly in 4th the whole race until side ache at 8.5k. Then had to work pretty damn hard to hold 4th. I think I did hold 4th even though the results say otherwise. Oh well, fun race nonetheless.
