arrived with amber with 6 minutes to spare.  ran nice and easy to try out pelvis again.  9:15, 7:55, 7:43 then 25:12  for miles 4, 5, 6 combined.  1:40 (8:20 pace for that lovely uphill 0.2 miles).  50:47.  Amber passed me just before mile one when I was just feet ahead keeping her afloat.  She stayed ahead til 3.5 miles when we ran together the remaining.  She finished ahead by two seconds.  NO pushing it.  But would have placed 3rd if signed up.  Amber fifth if she had.  However if racing probably could have done 50 min with the bum pelvis.

2 mile out and back at follow the flag 5 k trail warm up.  Then did the race. Got behind at start then should have gone easier. Because I was 9:30 at mile maybe a little faster. Had stop watch. Then ran up hill mostly walked it for 1.1 miles.  Then down to finish behind a cautious girl on no passing.  So lost Brooke the runner I met at start.   Came in at 35:30.   Want to run this a few times a week to get good at it.  Legs sore from squats Wednesday. And squats with weights. Way too many.
