This one is right after mile 3. I'm running with the mind Ninja, before he fell back. It turns out that he got 11th place, running 77:33. Not bad for a guy who sounded like he was dying immediately. Also, he is younger than I am?!?! He was in the 20-24 age group. Running next to him, I assumed he was way older, probably a masters runner who was in over his head. I guess not. My wheels hadn't fallen off yet, and I was just thinking about how well this race was going, and that I had plenty of time to get rid of the mind ninja before the race really began. Boy was I wrong!
Next we have one right around mile 9.5. I'm coming back over the Hornsby Bridge. I like the reflection. I was trying to salvage my race here, but I wanted to stop. At the end of the bridge, where the photo was actually taken from, I turned back and saw the three guys behind me. One of them was the mind ninja. Now that I've looked at the results, I finished 23, 61, and 80 seconds ahead of those guys, despite them being right behind me. As I said before, the race was SLOW. Full results can be found here.
