Febapple Frozen 50 -- 10.7 Mile Version

Did the one-loop 10-mile version of the Febapple Frozen Fifty series of races at South Mountain Reservation on Saturday. Missed a turn with a bunch of other folks and it become a 10.7 mile loop. Went out just behind the leaders for 2 miles at around 7:30 pace and then had a miserable time on the longish uphill portions. Never really felt all that good at any point. Finished in around 1:45 or so. Disappointing for the most part.
