Race: Tallahassee Turkey Trot 15K (9.3 Miles) 01:07:15, Place overall: 37, Place in age division: 4
Total Distance
10.50

Goal pace was 7 flat to 7:10, so 7:13 will work pretty good.  Made it through five a bit under 7 pace and then all the 10K runners (the ones I was running with) peeled off and the 15K turned up a hill into the freezing wind - bad combo... 6th and 7th miles blew up to 7:25, but I worked the finishing couple miles a little better to finish fairly strong.  Lisa, Cynda and my folks all walked the mile, and Travis jogged the 5K with a couple buddies on a very chilly morning.  Now we nap while the turkey cooks.  Happy Thanksgiving!

Exalt Miles: 10.50

Happy Thanksgiving. Yep, you were colder than us this morning!

You couldn't uncork a 49 second last 400 to hit that 7:10 pace?

Hey, I was pleased to get that last 0.3 down to 6:37 pace, gimme a break. I'm going with 7:06 overall pace anyway since Garmin told me I went 9.5 miles - poorly negotiated tangents I guess - ah well.
