I've run it every year since 2002, and I may have run it faster than today, in fact I'm sure that
in my mid fifties I probably did.
However, for the past 3 years, I have run it in 1:02:something something, 1:03, etc. and 1:04 blah blah.
Today I did it in 1:00:34. Now this is a few seconds slower than the PR I posted a few months ago and put on Ilenes's "fastest times" post, but this is the race with the MOUNTAIN!
Ok, it's not a mountain, it's a very steep hill that very few runners actually run up.
Today, I did not break my tradition and, indeed, walked up it, but somehow I managed to make up my time on the rest of the course, which is a lot of downhill after the mountain hill.
BTW, I moved up to a new AG and was sure I'd come in first. No, no, no, no, no, no, no!
Final results: 3rd in AG out of 7. This year I got hardware!
fussy, congratulations on your "mountain 10K" PR and on the hardware.

Congrats Fussy
Nothing like earning a little hardware to go along with a new PR eh ?
Trails are hard!
None of us are going to quibble about a couple of seconds--If it's a PR to you, then it sure is to us
Excellent race and on getting AG hardware. Now that you're the youngster in your AG, you'll need to do a better job of cherrypicking races and move up the list.
Need a fast half for late fall. Then I need to actually train for it.

Runners run
"During a marathon, I run about two-thirds of the time. That's plenty." - Margaret Davis, 85 Ed Whitlock regarding his 2:54:48 marathon at age 73, "That was a good day. It was never a struggle."

Life is a headlong rush into the unknown. We can hunker down and hope nothing hits us or we can stand tall, lean into the wind and say, "Bring it on, darlin', and don't be stingy with the jalapenos."
YAY!! What a great job on this race!! We can now call you MountainRunner! I don't think there was any room for fussiness in this race!
well done!
