I badly overestimated my skills! My timed mile was 6:40. The first 800 was 3:14 (I couldn't see my watch after the first 400). I didn't think I slowed down that much, but of course I did. The third lap was the hardest. I'm going to try again in a few weeks (a few Saturdays from now, since I will be racing the next few weekends). Maybe doing it first thing in the morning will make me faster. Maybe not. At least I won my age division :) And right after I typed this the first time, my oldest started throwing up in the toilet down here. Awesome. I actually thought I had food poisoning or something. I guess not. My hubby doesn't feel good either.
