The course was new this year, but still featured a long downhill for the first mile and a few tough hills to finish out the final mile. I was in the top 4 for pretty much the entire race, advancing into 2nd place for only a few moments on the final hill. I ultimately finished in 3rd place, just 12 inches behind the 2nd place finisher. It was a fun sprint for the final 25 yards, with both of us kicking really well and stride for stride. Ultimately though, the second two spots didn't matter too much considering a Pacers race team member beat us both by a couple minutes, haha.
