Catster I'm the guest "Daily Cat Tip" blogger this week at Catster.com. Click here to read the profile they posted and here to read the tips.

We'll start with the stats.

The weather at start time was 62 degrees F, 80% humidity, South wind mph.

There were 21 finishers in the Female 35-39 age group. I came in 7th in my age group and an overall gender finish of 44.
