That was the first time I had actually been racing against someone as opposed to just the clock. Since I wasn't trying for a PR I think it would have been smarter to let her set the pace for the last mile and then tried to make a move at the finish. Oh well, live and learn! At larger races and especially at longer races, I am no where near the front of the pack. So this is really a new experience for me, but I am definitely hoping to improve on it in coming years.

I don't think they distribute outside of Michigan. But their beer was excellent and so was the food! We also went to Bell's, which is the oldest brewery in Michigan. They do distribute outside of MI, so you might be able to find them! It isn't summer in Michigan without an ice cold Oberon!

I found this a very interesting recap because I rarely get the perspective of a race from someone who is racing competitively, for most of us, we are just racing ourselves. I think it would really psych me out trying to race someone else.Hannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17728566362857791633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1520250291545545247.post-22983058360974329432015-06-11T11:02:09.669-04:002015-06-11T11:02:09.669-04:00Sounds like a tough race!
