Notes
Ran 11.32 miles in 1:13:45.66 (6:31.0 min./mi.) RACE! (First race of the year) Ran the "Spring into Spring 15k" in some little town outside of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Went to Milwaukee to watch a couple of NCAA Tournament games where I seen a bunch of signs about this race, and of course I never go anywhere without running gear. Jumped into this race without any prep, and very uncertain about my right Achilles. I quickly sent a "soft" goal of 58 minutes, but I knew a lot of things would have to go right for that time. My "hard" goal of 60 minutes I figured was pretty doable though. The Achilles felt okay for the first 9k, but the last 6k was another story, in fact I almost dropped out after about 12k. Held on to take 5th place overall, 1st in age group in 58:55.55 (6:19.4 min./mi.). Didn't know anybody in this race, but the first two guys went sub 47 minutes, and the next two went right around 50 minutes, some SERIOUS speed in this race.
