Not much to say except I feel like I had a good race and gave a good effort. The course is really nice, with the start and finish on city streets in the downtown area and the middle of the race on paved trails near the river.
The 6th mile is a long long gradual uphill climb!

And finally a nice downhill sprint to the finish:

I was able to win my age group with a finish time of 38:36, averaging 6:13 per mile. I wore Saucony Endorphine carbon "super shoes" but not sure if they made a difference. I received a piece of artwork for the age group award:

Greenville has some fast runners, so if I want to break into the overall awards I have some work to do.
The race was held on April 23, 2022, results are posted:

My training leading up to the race went well. I did a lot of hill training and a fair amount of tempo and speed work.
We stayed in the race hotel by the river which made race morning so much less stressful.

I cranked the pace down after the midway point, suffered a bit after the big hill on 16th Ave, but pushed hard to the finish.

The ladies field was strong. I had to kick hard to keep from getting passed by the 4th place woman who is barely visible as a grey blur over my shoulder in this photo of my sprint to the finish:

Finish time was 1:00:24, averaging under 6:30 per mile. I ran a pretty steady race, actually a bit faster than I thought I would be able to go.

Boom! This race has a real shotgun start.

I used the same fueling strategy and equipment that I did for the Stump Jump, including my Topo Terraventure 2 shoes which I love. Without the elevation and stairs to deal with, I intended to run the entire race. With the exception of a few stops to refill water bottles, etc. I succeeded at running the whole 50k distance.
