46:49 in a soggy messy monsoon of a run for the Morris Marsh Point 4 miler.
"Micahel Gerwier"? I guess the raindrops blurred the sign in sheets a little? Can't imagine racing in that slop.
And yes, good luck Yond!

Yeah, that would be a good excuse, if I had done race day entry. Somebody had trouble typing and reading when they did the pre-reg roster. I'm used to it. That's why I don't bother including the "i" and "e" in my username - nobody gets it right anyway.
The last half mile rain was coming down so hard we couldn't see more than 50 yards ahead. Thank God for the volunteers waving their orange flags to tell us where to turn right for the finish. Talk about dedicated people - at least we were running and generating some heat. They were just standing there.

I have stupidly tried to "manage" some achilles pain I've had since after my last race (late nov). in a futile effort to try and "keep" my fitness. I was sort of okay for a while, but after a really miserable two weeks, I've sort of come to the realization that I need to get myself right and let go of some misguided thoughts. Anyway, withdraw my jan 31 mile race. That's not happening.
Sorry to hear that, Kevin - hope it heals up quick for you.
yond - Good Luck in SC this weekend !

40:57. 42 second PR.

Well done! Was that giant hole in the middle of the course easier now that you knew about it ahead of time ?
No hole this time! They changed the course back to the "original" course after a temporary change due to construction. So this time the race started inside the hole, but went along the bottom of one of the hills rather than up it. I probably gained 15 seconds alone due to that.
2/7 Boston Build Up 20K Fairfield 1:23:30 (goal)
result: 1:25:48 41st place
So, a couple minutes off of my goal. I started out at what turned out to be an "optimistic" pace. By 4 miles, I found I couldn't maintain 6:30 pace. I ended up with 6:55 min/mile overall pace, which I feel I can build on and improve for next race.
2/28 Boston Build Up 25K Silvermine 1:47:00 (goal)
result: 1:48:18 25th place
So... 1:18 off of my goal. I'm getting closer, anyway!
Nice job with the racing, beat!
Colchester HM: 1:34:48. Knocked five minutes off my time from last year. Couldn't be much happier with it. I was on PR pace halfway through the race and briefly thought it was a possibility, then the hill at mile 8 laughed at me and kicked me in the balls.
Good racing Chris and Phil. Season is heating up now.
Well, not my best effort. 16:56 and third old guy. Was fun to meet the guys and girls on the team though. Missed yond and mike too!
not that it makes a big difference, but 16:54 chip time
Good job Kevin. Too crowded and I didn't know how to find you... Perfect weather but it seems I am not in a good shape.
