This is the first time I've done this race. It was decent. My plan was to keep up with the rooster, but he was just too fast from the get-go. I wish I had my watch working so I knew my splits, but that first mile was in the low 5's, I think. The rest of the race I just went back and forth with people and never felt that I was moving that well. But in the end, my time was 36:19 or something, which was faster than my goal, so that's good. I competed best with people when it was flat or uphill rather than downhill. So I think I need to work on my speed more, as usual. Big congrats to rooster and allie and others who ran so well. |
