Run (no dog) race (Brighton 5K) 19:38 [5] 5.0 km (3:56 / km)
shoes: Defyance 1 #4 (Screws)
Aiming for 6:30 pace, and very much surprised myself by going 6:20 pace!!!
Mile 1 - 6:02 - thought I made a huge mistake going out this fast. I have not run a mile this fast in 20 years, not even in training. After this, the idea was to see how much I could hold on. "only 2 miles to go"
Mile 2 - 12:26 (6:24) I was pleased that I held out that long. At this point, the people I was with would be the people I finished around. Interesting to see the ebbs & flows as I would pass them, then they would pass me, etc. I did fall back a bit, though at the end - nothing left for a kick.
Mile 3 - 19:00 (6:34) - actual marker had to be in the wrong place. Time I had when I passed the 3 mile marker was 18:48, but that would mean the next .1 mile was at over 8 minute pace. So I averaged out the last 1.1 mile to get the split I put above.
Finish (3.1 mile) - 19:38.
So in general, extremely pleased. However, I finished 4th in the age group. Time would have been 2nd in 2008, but 5th in 2007. All the guys my age ahead of me had the fancy running clothes - a lot more serious about the whole thing than I am (or am pretending to be). They all looked a lot older than I think I look. Hmmm - do I look that old??.
I proudly wore my ROC shirt once again.
Good day for getting a good time: flat, some wind (more cooling than annoying), no sun, ideal temperature (60's).
Course:
Start on Winton Rd, 95.7 ft North of the North edge of Greenwich Ln, head south on Winton.
Right onto Westfall
Right onto Avalon.
Left onto Vernon Place/Roby Dr.
Right onto Elmwood Ave
Right onto Bonnie Brae Ave
Left onto Danbury Circle
Left onto Winton Rd
Finish is across from flagpole at the High School.
Good breakfast type food afterwards - bagels, bananas, watermelon, and cookies. On a day you race, you are allowed to eat anything you want (strawberry shortcake & coffeecake for lunch).
I'm going to hurt for several days after this one....
