Goodness, this was a toughie. I came into this one with less bleacher training than last year and it showed. Funny enough my first lap felt great but my overall fitness and endurance just wasn't there on the second lap. It was a good three year stretch and I doubt I'll ever find another 2-3 miles like the Rusty Crown. I tried to enjoy my last go on the Rusty Crown but it was a love-hate situation. The volunteers were great as always. Looking forward to my next EBA adventure.
