Notes
Seven hours sleep. Breakfast 1-1/2 hours before race. Slight head wind going out, tail wind coming back. Felt good through entire race and held right around 7:30 pace throughout, with last half being just a little on the negative split side. Overall, happy with result and right on my goal pace of 7:30. Seven min and 31 second improvement over last year's time and move up from 10th place finish in age group to second. First place finished 6 min and 50 seconds ahead of me.
Got up late (alarm wasn't set right) so no time to get resting heart rate and forgot weight.
Ate huge lunch that Xiaoxiao and some school friends made, then ate pie and breads over at Joel and Leah's in the afternoon, then some beer and snacks with Steve and Ruth in the evening. Not good for weight, but very delicious. Got to live a little once in awhile.
32nd out 111 for male masters (age 40+)
