Beautiful day for a race. I just wanted to get some good speed but stay within my own ability. My splits were

1st mile 5:17  Goal was 5:15

2nd mile 5:32  Goal was 5:30

3rd mile 6:02  Goal was 5:30

1/10 mile 0:28   Goal was  0:30

Had trouble getting enough air up the last mile hill. Still had my best time at Freedom Festival. I have run it 4 times. I am proud to say, for Bills sake, that everyone that finished ahead of me was young enough to be my child. oops one exception a 29 year old.

Karl and Hayden did great. Karl took 2nd over-all in the 5K, Hayden took 4th over-all in the 10K. There was lots of good competition.

Im anxious to get back to marathon training.

Solid time for that course. It is not fast, the hill on 9th east takes the steam out of your sales.
