Vermont City and Beyond

The 2016 VT City was hot.  My first hour was great but as the temperature rose ir was tough to keep up the pace. After mile 16 I did feel the heat. I was on a 3: pace but as I cramped up by mile 22 I has to settle for a 4:01:42 which was 3/64 in my age group. A surprise to me but I did feel great most of the race. A Shout out to all the support and to the volunteers! Water sprays everywhere!!!
I do have 2 suggestions for the race committee:
No pacers and start the race at 7 AM.
This is still one of my favorite races at any distance, way more positives than negatives.
