Because of the construction at the Riverton park, the race this year started at CR Hamilton park. Taylor agreed to pace me as long as I promised to not run slower than a 7:50 average pace. About 3+ miles of this course are on canal roads. I'm not very fast on this type of course and the head wind didn't help. The course measured long at 6.45 miles. On my watch I hit the 10k at about 48:xx. Taylor was funny and kept yelling at me to pick it up. It was great having her there with me. My splits were 7:37, 7:57, 8:06, 7:57, 7:26, 7:53, and 8:00 avg. for the .45. Average pace 7:49. We also warmed up for a mile and cooled down for a mile.
