This was a great race.  I felt very strong and reached both my goals: be at 130lbs and dominate the hills.  And there were plenty of hills.  I was surprised to find that Atlanta is so hilly.  Very little flat on the course.  Thankfully, the ups and downs weren't so steep like they were San Francisco.

The weather was perfect in the 50's and a light rain the entire time.  You couldn't wipe the smile off my face.  I started with the 4:30 pace group and some where around mile 18 I passed the 4:15 pacer and maintained ahead of them finishing with a 4:12.  Same finish time as the last race however I felt much stronger on this run.  Last run was very very flat (Florida) and around mile 20 I had some cramping.  This run was hilly all the way and I managed my electrolytes to prevent any sign of cramping.  In the end I felt strong with no soreness other than some bloody nipples from the rain washing off the body glide.

Ready to start training for the next one!
