 | Road Run race 22:04 [5] 5 km (4:25 / km) vdot: 44.4 | |

| Father's Day 5k Road Race at The Crossings of Colonie Park. Fairly flat with first 0.5k and last 0.75k on roads. The rest was on paved walking/bike path about 6 feet wide. The path curves around quite a bit, so I tried to stay to the inside of the curves when I could.
Finished 51 of 270 overall and 2nd in M55-59 age group. Target time was 21:30 (6:55 pace). Hit the first mile OK, but with the temps in the low 70's and dewpoint in the 60's, it wasn't going to happen. Splits: 654, 713, 718, 38. Forerunner measured each mile long by 0.01 - 0.02 mi. It's a USATF Certified course so that's close enough for me. |

| Warm up before (1.0 mi), cool down after (1.5 mi). |

| Easy road run on 66S to loosen up. Low 80's with dewpoint in the upper 60's. Ugh. |

| A morning run from the hotel in Evansville, IN (here on business - pretty sure I wouldn't come here for any other reason). First and last part along busy roads with limited shoulders in places. Other part on a road with less traffic but no real shoulders either. In the 60's and sunny - much more pleasant than it's been in the Northeast. |
