This was my second time running this race and I was a bit slower than last year. I expected that because I'm not feeling like I'm in as good of shape as I was last year. I enjoyed it though. The weather was good. The rain stopped before the race began and temperature was around 40. With a few hundred yards left I passed a guy (found out later that his name was Jose Lopez) as I sped up for the finish line. Then just before the finish line, Jose Lopez went flying past me. I was impressed with his kick at the end and told him so. But alas, when the times were posted I see that I did in fact beat Jose Lopez. He must have started a few seconds before me. Small victories. Good soup at the finish line.
