Notes
Bloomsday 2011. Sunny but cold morning, some fog between 7:00 and 8:30 am, sun came out, warmed up from 30's to 50's, probably 50 at my race finish time. I was fighting off a cold, didn't sleep well for a few nights prior. I was first place for 55-59 age group. Could have run a few seconds faster with a better start, even though I started second seed. Slow corporate cup runners got in my way first mile. Mile 2-4 I felt like stopping running - mental weakness, caused by lack of sleep and getting sick? Fought it off, and hit mile 5 mark sub-31:30, slightly better than planned.Good race and good day over-all, very fatigued and sniffly/sneezy later on. I almost didn't sign up for this race, only did it because I got second seeded. Good job!
This age-grades to 83.0% for age M56
