Bluegrass 10,000 has been a tradition in Lexington, KY on July 4th for more than 40 years.  2,968 finishers this year Running a race this time of year always hot.  It was clear and sunny for the entire race.  73 degrees to start.

Mile 1:  I started near the front with our team "Bourne to Run".  I've been running well this season, but with the conditions thought 42:xx would be a good day.  Everyone went out pretty fast including myself.  I running a 6:25

 

Mile 2:  Settling into a more comfortable pace as my heart rate is coming up.  This part of the course is pretty flat.  6:48

 

Miles 3: slight hill climb 7:36

 

Mile 4: downhill into the hairpin turnaround 7:00

 

Mile 5:  uphill back into downtown.  I'm getting pretty hot by this time and HR stays up in the 170's  7:19

Mile 6:  downhill 7:02

Overall pace 7:02 mpm.  I'm happy with that and this gives me a benchmark for where I am and what I need to do for a fall race.
