9:30am and 85 degrees, humid. 1.55 mile warm up to the YMCA in 12:21 (7:58s). Was hoping to run into Nancy but I found out that one of her kids was sick so she wouldn't be there. Julie was there, but she's doing a half-ironman in Sonoma on Sunday, so she was in full taper mode. I made the decision to go with the ladies anyway and just hang at whatever pace they chose. To be honest, I'm quite glad I did. It was hot and I think I'm still a bit tired from the race on Saturday. We did a 2.5 out and back. I forgot to set my watch on the way out, but I assume it was pretty close to the pace we ran on the way back which was 21:41. So I'm just going to double this and call it a day. I think the total run was probably closer to 5.1 in 43:22 (8:30s). I was tired and my shirt was drenched by this point, so I took about a 5 minute break before heading the 1.55 back home in 11:36 (7:29s).
