Sounds like you all ran on a five kilometer-long Slip 'n' Slide! Joe: based on the runningahead.com race calculator, the time you ran today should lead to you running a 10k in the vicinity of 52:00 (an 8:27/mi pace). And I think it's silly that they gave the overall winner a medal for winning the race and for winning the age group. Otherwise you might've nabbed a bronze medal (unless the two guys not too far ahead of you were indeed among your division).

Both the guys in front of me got medals for different age groups, so it turns out one guy was younger and one was older. This is one of the few races down here where I can say with some confidence that the 20-29 age group was actually the most competitive age group.

Heh, nice description.

I think that was a slow course -- I hope to be a minute faster at Hospice 5K. (I was a minute faster at the Denton 5K two weeks ago.)

After Scott P and I finished a post-awards run around the park, we came back and only a couple people were left, and we talked to them (I think one was the RD) about award stuff, and suggested that next year they do what most races do, and pull the overall winners out of the age group awards, and I think she will do that.

Looks like 1st, 3rd, 4th, 7th, and 8th were all in your age group -- you're right, clearly the fastest age group. More than half of the first 8 finishers were your age group. (Then #9 was the second woman.)

It's a 5k. It hurt like hell...then I tried to pick it up. The end.

It appears that one of my coworkers was in this race.

Perry, that's a pretty killer 10 miler time. Did you think you were going to run that fast from the start and begin accordingly or did you pick it up later in the race?

My LPR-10 was 1:08 I think, so I wanted to beat that, so I shot for 6:40 pace. The hills were kinda tiring -- I've never done Cherry Pit before so I didn't know what to expect. PS: Don't know actual time yet -- that is estimate based on David Walser's time -- he was the next finisher (after me & the guy I outsprinted at the finish line). I forgot to shut my watch off immediately.

Would that be today's Credit Union Cherry Blossom 10 Mile Run? I can't find you or Walser anywhere in the results. Or did you two run it unofficially?

Today's Cherry Pit 10 Mile race. Cherry Blossom is the big 10 Mile race in DC; Cherry Pit is the small 10 Mile club race in Edgewater (by Annapolis Striders). My posted time was 01:06:18.51 By my count I was 5th in AG. The second woman is listed as being 10 yrs old. I wonder if that is a typo. I didn't see her come in, so I don't know. (I did see the first woman come in.)

I'm quite astonished by Walser's 1:07:## 10 mile time --- in light of his recent ... modest 5k times. My hopes of taking age group gold at Hospice might be dashed should Walser-Son compete in the 10k! By the way, will the CBRC site be posting results for the Lookin' For Trouble 5k of this past Saturday?

I see where they did not have a 3rd place finisher in the male 20-29 age group category, which upsets me for many reasons. I am also calling shenannigans on the Hall family and a 9 y/o finishing in 20 minutes.

Indeed, you could've scored a medal just by finishing. Those Hall kids are extremely fast for their respective ages. I think the 11-year-old beat me at Chaptico last year.

re: Halls (& Avery Cunningham) Yep, there are two sets of Hall twins -- young and younger -- and all ridiculously fast. And the 10 year old girl who finished second woman at Cherry Pit is real -- Paul Serra told me she was ranked 45th in 19&under on WRR (Washington Running Report) last year at the age of 9. But I don't see that online: http://www.runwashington.com/archive0209/other/rankwomaut08.html Her Cherry Pit 10 was: Cherry Pit: Avery Cunningham 01:12:05.58, age 10 http://annapolisstriders.org/resultsCP2009.htm Shouldn't all these little kids be out playing somewhere, instead of frightening us adult runners? Smile

re: David Walser David was 1min behind me at Colon Rolling (5K), and then at Cherry Pit 10M, he was also 1min behind me -- so much closer in pace on the 10M, for whatever reason. Paul Serra told me later that he told David Walser to go catch me, when David passed him during the race Smile

BTW, Crystal says there is a Service Day 5K at St Mary's City tomorrow (Saturday) morning, over the paved historic paths; she is considering running it. It starts at 0800. I never heard of it before (but I'm still going to Oak Ridge myself). She says the info says official times will be recorded by the "Chesapeake Running Company" -- dunno who that is.
