This was my 5th Race to Robie Creek and my 3rd best (and 3rd worst) so I guess it was a pretty average performance. As always, getting to the top of the hill was rough. I passed quite a few people going up, but I'm sure every last one of them passed me on the way back down. I'm to old to be screaming down that hill. I'd probably crash into a tree if I tried. Plus I was worried about the gut problems I had last year.

The gut was fine this time, but the downhill is so jarring after climbing up for 8+ miles. I also don't think I ate/drank enough beforehand. By the time I hit the last mile, I was spent. 1:14 to the top and 35  minutes down the other side. 156th place, which is still in the top 7% so I'll take it.
