Yuck.
Year 2 for this one.
Last year's report found here:

Brian Smith put this run on my radar last year. It's a fairly challenging 6k with a great party at the end. Free food and craft beer at the after party.

Last year I struggled through this event a bit, and, posted a 33:56. I hoped to improve this year, but, was unsure what to expect after Sunday's marathon. This would be my first activity since then.
I saw a number of friends beforehand. I moved towards the front of the starting corral, and took off when the gun sounded. I got out to a quick pace and booked a 7:41 1st mile. That wouldn't last. By the 2nd mile I was feeling fatigue. I slowed to a 8:20 mile 2. Mile 3 was 8:43. I was gassed. I actually walked up the hill on 10th street. Overall time: 29:36. 4 of 10 in my AG and 73 of 222 overall.
Ugly, poorly managed run, but, I am just coming off my 1st marathon...
4:20 faster than last year, but, a slightly shorter route as the route was changed due to construction.
I'll be back next year and hope the family will join-
:)
