Ran the Clarksburg 5k on Saturday to celebrate Amy's 30th birthday. Course was quite hilly. Started mid-pack and had to weave through slower runners. Course description...beginning was up a hill for about .3 miles, went down and around for about .3 miles, then back up another hill for .4 miles. Hit the first mile at 5:53. From there, it was down hill for a bit (.5) then back up another hill (.25) then back down .25. Hit mile 2 at approx 13:20. Next .5 mile was pretty flat and it looped around the road then we entered a gradual hill staring straight to the finish line for the last .6 miles. This was quite the moral booster/degrader as you could see the end but needed to go uphill to get there. Overall, finished the race in 20:05 for an average of 6:28 miles. Finished 15th overall out of 360 people and 2nd in my age group. Not too shabby....drank plenty of re-hydrating beer after the race at Amy's birthday party. |
