I did both these things, and so count the race a success. 🙂 I came in somewhere around 40 minutes, 30 seconds (I’m still waiting for the official results to be posted), and hung around a while to cheer on the folks finishing after me–and also to see the first of the runners in the 10 mile race taking place at the same time make their finishes.
That was fun. I could totally do it again. 🙂 (And am thinking about it.)

ETA: The official race results, which put me at exactly 40:30. 🙂
