4.5 miles before the race with warmup and strides. So I went into this race looking at it as a workout. I wanted to do a Lactic Clearing type workout. So I ran the first mile in 5:16 then slowed to a 5:58 ap for the next 5.38 miles on my watch. Then I ran the last 3 miles as fast as my calf would allow. 5:16 5:25 5:24 for about a 5:21.5 ap. Very happy with it. Easy cooldown with a massive group for about 4 miles. Have a massage tomorrow and icing today.

Thanks Jake. I liked your elevation chart. Makes it look like we ran a trail race

Nice job Dave. I am excited to see how you do next weekend. Hopefully that calf stays quiet.
