I got to Riverton park and warmed up for about 1/2 mile before the race started. My plan was to use this as my marathon paced tempo run. For some reason we did a big loop around the park when the gun went off. That added over a half mile to race. I was happy with my pacing for the most part. I hit 6.2 at the bottom of the steep uphill switchbacks. I was kind of done at the point. I did end up finishing 1st in my age group. 8:08, 8:35, 8:07, 8:11, 8:14, 8:07 and 8:53. Average 8:19
