We timed this race also. I wsn't sure how my legs would respond after yesterdays 10K. I was again looking for an age group record. The old record was 16:41. The new record is 16:02.3. Here are the splits:

1-5:03

2-5:16

3-5:16

one tenth-0:25

I just tried to stay focused on form and a quick turn over. I was waiting to have Ryan come by me again, but I guess I got out far enough that I finally beat him for once. He and I are very close in our ability which makes racing together really good for both of us.

Went for an easy celebration run this evening. 4.82 mi. 6:55 pace

Great job on back to back races!

Thanks guys, I only ran 24 miles this week. That may account for my back to back race success. If I had run 80 this week, I am certain that I wouldn't have had such good races. Heads up guys, you're awesome.

Great double Ken! Very inspirational.

I believe Mike and I and a very fast fellow named Joe are looking for a 4th for the 4x400. Just for fun. Let me know what you think. Are you running the track 5000?

Two solid races over the weekend. Keep up the great training and look for a half mid summer to help with the SGM training.
