Race: 15th Annual Devil Dog Run (3.1 Miles) 00:30:25, Place overall: 80, Place in age division: 6

Total Distance

3.10

3.1 mi in 30:25 @ 9:49/mi burning 360 calories. New PR!

What a wonderful day for a race! And a nice wonderfully flat course to host the race. Teresa proved quite the champ -- finishing 2nd of 9 in her age group -- as I pushed her pace pretty hard throughout the entire distance. She would have broken 30:00 if the "Cadence Competition" hadn't slowed us down as the units chewed up nearly the entire roadway leaving us fighting through oncoming traffic of strollers and walkers. I finally had to stop at one point and wait for Teresa who had gotten stuck in traffic.

Amazingly, the first three female finishers were under the age of 15! They were aged 12, 14 and 11. Apparently we grow some fast girls in this part of the country.

So now, with any luck I will clean out a bit of the garage before traveling to see the Oklahoma Redhawks compete in the first round of the playoffs this evening.

Great race! Excellent time, even with the trafic jam! Darn those cute babies in their strollers ;) Good luck with the garage :)

Wow, sounds like a great race. Sounds like you both would've broken 30 minutes given an open roadway. Great job....almost time for a new short-term goal!
