    Perfect conditions for the B-rrry Scurry. Mid 30's and a wind at your back finish. I couldn't capitalize though. Fought a side sticth in mile 3. Positive split...went out to fast.

     

    Goal: Sub 27mins

     

    Actual: 27:06 (10sec pr) 42nd overall, 4th div.

     

    Nice meeting you mbehr!

      goal #1: PR

       

      1:15:10 for a 61 second PR.

      Acceptable at a dance, invaluable in a shipwreck.


      Just a dude.

        Good job both of you on PRs. Two thumbs up!

        Getting back in shape... Just need it to be a skinnier shape... 

          It was a long day yesterday but it was fun.  It was good meeting Slo_H and CEIE at the B-rry Scurry.

           

          Goal: <21:15

          Result: 21:21 (5OA, 2AG)

           

          Although I didn't hit my goal time, I'll take it.  It was a 39 sec PR from the last time I ran this race.  Got out right where I wanted to be and worked my way up with the leaders at about 1.5 mi in.  There was a solid group of 5 of us from that point on until about 3.5 miles before we started to string out.  Just couldn't hold on as I felt flat.  Can't deny it, I tried out there yesterday.  Mile splits were: 5:20, 5:25, 5:14 and 5:22.  I'll take at it as a good starter race for this year!  1st place was 21:06.  So a 15 sec gap between 1-5.  6th was about another 20 or so seconds back.  Good competition there yesterday.  Better yet, a good post race party at a local establishment.

            Shows me I still have a lot of work to do ,but I'm happy with it. I remembered how to race, and I needed that.

              PRs falling all over. Nice job everyone!

              Rule number one of a gunfight, bring a gun. Rule number two of a gunfight, bring friends with guns.

                Great performances, especially since we're shaking the winter cobwebs off!

                              Ran the Bumper Run 6 Mile in 36:51, 4th place overall. This was about 1:30 faster than last year, although the weather was better. Kevin Hanson still has the course record which is around 32:30.  

                               

                              This race is on the anniversary of when the race director got hit by a car while running at night.

                                How long ago was Kevin Hanson running 32:30?  Seems like it must be a pretty old record....I recall placing either just in front or just being him in the Volkslauffe 10K sometime around 2001-2002 and it was more like 34-35min.

                                 

                                Nice job, I don't think the weather was worth 1:30.
