9/11/05 Bank to Bay 10K

Back to downtown Tacoma for the third year in a row. Billy signed up just for the shirt that he had been admiring. He even bought the 2003 edition that they were selling at a discount. Chip timing this year, a very good addition with the large crowd. Cool and cloudy.
Start - Don't worry about position so much with the chip. So crowded though, but soon to spread out on the long downhill.
Mile 3.1 - Feeling strong and ahead of PR pace. Can I hold it on the uphill?
Mile 5.5 - Long uphill but I am holding my own. Much better and stronger than last year.
Mile 6.2 - Nice PR by 2 minutes!! Go back and cheer on Billy on one of his first races (57:45)
45:57 Course Record
134 of 697 race #83, Bank to Bay #3
