Notes
7:18, 165/179, 113 cpm.
Went with compression shorts, running shorts and long sleeve. Started off slow behind a pair of guys gabbing about how they have never lead for this long. After crossing 28, a guy picked it up going up the hill and I went with him. Passed him about halfway as I noticed his breathing becoming labored. As I crested the hill, fast guy sped by me. Thought it was Joe O'Leary, course record holder. Tried to stay with him for a bit, but eventually lost contact on the downhill. Stayed a even distance behind him so I wouldn't get lost. By now, effort was comfortably hard, but didn't really want to push myself any harder. Tried to pick up some ground on the Medford St. downhill but clearly his stride at this pace was much more comfortable than mine. Almost missed the last turn on Franklin St. Quite a challenge dodging ice, potholes and cars, so pleased with the effort. Surprised that this is now my tempo run pace.
