Before the race started I saw another person who could be a challenge, we started out the 1st mile together, so it was a little quicker then I planned, but thats ok, she dropped back and I was just chasing the guys after that.
The course was mainly flat, but had a few inclines in it.
I was the first women in 27.17, which was the course record.
I also walked away with:

Not the bag, but the camera, which is valued around $200USD so its pretty sweet upgrade on what I have, I have to play around with it more, not as easy as my other point and shot!
I also got a $35 gift card to Best buy, which is an electronic store. So thats going to Mikes imac computer he wants only $1665 to go now. hahaha I dont think so!
Here are some pics also of the race that Mike took...enjoy - not with the new camera obviously as I had not won it yet! :)
Well I am off to have left over turkey dinner - will get you those pics one of these days.
