All the distances started at the same time. I started a little too far back and found myself stuck in traffic for the first kilometer. Once traffic cleared up, I gave'r.

Not much to share about this one - partly because I can't remember. I can recall feeling surprised with finishing 10th overall - it was a confidence booster.
