I have a love/hate relationship with my saucony type As. I like the built in sock and the hook on the back to help you pull them on. I also like the colour. I like that they are light. Whenever I wear them for hard efforts, though, something always seems to go wrong.

I figured that this race would be pretty low key so I thought it would be a good day to put some miles in on these shoes. This turned out to be pretty silly as the trail part of this race is slightly rocky and the soles are pretty thin. I'm not quite sure how Allie managed in her Hattoris.

Anyway, this race goes up and down city creek. It's a great course that I have wanted to race on for quite some time. I felt great from the start and I was all alone after just a few minutes. I attacked the trail pretty viciously and I enjoyed the burning in my lungs. It's been 19 days since Des News but that feels like an eternity without a hard workout.

I reached the end of the trail portion at about 17:00 and started to sprint down the road as hard as I could. This part was about 2.35 miles and I covered it in 11:49 which is 5:02 pace. This was not too surprising as it is a solid downhill and I have split 5:20 for this stretch during tempo runs.

After the race, I cooled down with Allie and Kam and then reenacted Freedom Half.

This is my 6th victory of the year! Previous high was 4 in 2009. Want to make it to double digits.

Also the largest margin of victory of any race I've ever done. (4:01)
