The weather was a little warmer than I had hoped, right around 90 degrees. There was a big rain the night before, leaving a few soft spots along the trail but not a problem. The lights along the trail were adequate, along with the full moon. I only used my flashlight in a few spots.
I was very thankful to have my support crew - Eric! He was a lifesaver, keeping me hydrated, gu'd up, and motivated along the way. This was also my first time to run a race with Nell. It was nice to have a partner to chat with and pass the time.
We kept a good pace through lap 3, mile 9. Lap 4 was a little slower. And lap 5 was just as tough as I remembered. But as opposed to my 1st El Scorcho, this year I ran most of it. I finished with a 2:51 time. In a perfect world, I had hoped to finish in 2:30, but all things considered I'm really happy that I did it. Am able to do it. And finished it!
Thanks to everyone for your support! 4 months of training, 229 miles.

Good job Frandog! It was fun to run with you! And I guess I must have been running super fast at the end -- so fast that I was a blur in the camera. :0)
