Race: Tallahassee Turkey Trot (3.1 Miles) 00:19:40
Total Distance
5.00

Sneaked into the front area at the start this year so that I didn't have to bob and weave for the first mile.  Worked out nicely as I hit the mile in 6:18.  Eased up a bit through the 2nd mile in 6:25, and ran 6:14 for the last to finish up at 19:40 - best time (on a certified course) in a couple years, so Thanksgiving started out nicely.

Travis and our # 4 runner paced a younger teamie to a PR in a bit under 21 minutes - good deal.  Cynda and Lisa also ran the 5K, so now we are primed for stuffing our bellies.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Congratulations on the old guy PR and stomping Travis!

Nice race report Doug! I was certain I saw you in Clearwater though - must have been your twin. I called out your name to him, but he snubbed me.

Sorry, Bret - I will have a word with my rude twin from Clearwater! Saw your report - good job at the fondly remembered Turkey Trot from my youth.
