Pretty much a perfect race day. No wind and mild temperature. 1st mile 6:50 2nd mile 6:48 3rd mile 6:49 4th mile 6:46 5th mile 6:45 6th mile 6:41 .2 end 1:18 (6:30 pace) My race plan came together perfectly. This is exactly how I wanted to run this race. The only minor quibble was that I wanted to be about 3 to 5 seconds per mile faster, but don't we all? I've been running this race for about 8 consecutive years. Today was a course PR for me and white ribbon 3rd place finish. Call me crazy but I'll pour my guts out to win a elementary-school-3rd place-spelling bee-style ribbon. I'm very happy! |
