Beach Series Race 16

Last night was the last official race in the Beach Series. That said, due to daylight savings time and good weather, they've decided to add two "bonus races" for the next two Tuesday nights. They're pretty much the same event, but they're done tracking points for the series standings. Speaking of which, I ended up ranked 4th (out of 45) in men 30-39 in the final standings for the series. I'm 16th in the male standings for the beach run (out of 185).

Last nights race went quite well. It was perfect conditions again: warm with very low tide. I was running quite late, so I didn't squeeze in any warmup. I still ran fairly well: 22:03. Slightly slower than last week, but I didn't push too hard.
