Leg 7 - David Ploskonka

Writing from a parking lot in front of the Tanger Outlet stores, waiting for Leg 13, a 7.5-mile adventure on a dangerous freeway, with only a reflective vest to shield me from the merciless vehicular traffic. This will be my longest, hardest leg of the race thus far. To recap the last leg:

My 4-mile PR apparently didn't hurt me on Leg 7, in which I covered 5.4 miles in 36 minutes. Yes, a bit more human, but there was a "monster" hill for about half a mile that slowed me down. Still, I passed a few people, and that always feels good (even if they're not in your category, rendering your accomplishment technically irrelevant).
