 | Trail Run race 24:15 [5] 3.07 mi (7:53 / mi) +100m 4:27 / km | |
| shoes: NB 804 - Size 9.5 |
| 1st annual Landis Arboretum Forest Run 5K. Very nice course with lots of ups and downs, but all runnable and a net elevation loss of about 25m. The road runners all complained about how hilly it was. About 10% paved, 50% mowed grass trails and 40% woods trails. Every root and rock sticking up was painted orange! 3.07mi by the forerunner, 340 ft of climb by counting contours on the USGS topo. Super weather - sunny and ~60F at race time (10am).
Ended up 21st overall (out of 128, but that included walkers). 5th in M50-59, but only 48 seconds behind the two who tied for 1st in M50, and 4 sec ahead of 6th. No wonder I kept seeing old guys out there. I don't think I could've been 48 sec faster. |
