Run: Race Previous Next

Notes

Age Handicapped 4 miler. First race in 483 days. Only two other people in my age group, one of whom was Sean Hicks, who said he's running MP. I didn't know the other guy, who looked too big to be fast. But he went out fast. I stayed behind him in the first mile. Then he seemed to slow down a bit, so I blew by him and went too fast in the second mile. That cooked me and I had to slow down, so he passed me and ended up finishing maybe 10 seconds ahead. I should have just run 6:30 steady, which was my plan. But not racing for so long, I had forgotten that competition gets the best of me. Apparently I've run this race three times and always finished within a 4 second range. Two years ago I remember it was really hot, though, unlike today. The Endorphin Pros were ok on the towpath, but I think they're just too stiff for my liking.
