Notes
4 mile pub race. wanted to put in another race effort before new bedford. right hamstring tightness was gone after a lot of foam rolling/massaging it last night.
race started with a group of 10 or so out in front of me and pat, but by the end of the first mile I moved up to 5th. Stayed there the entire race. Big (160') hill in the middle was tough, and the downhill was too steep to run efficiently on, and I consider myself pretty good at downhills. There was a nice gradual downhill after the steep part though. Had trouble pushing myself in the last mile, since I couldn't see anyone behind me for the last 2 miles. Probably should have been thinking more about catching the guy in front of me though.
my garmin had it at 4.11 miles and 5:31 pace. splits: 5:21, 5:55 (up the hill), 5:13 (down the hill), 5:39, 0:35 (.11 mi). Happy with the effort considering some solid running the past couple days. 5th overall, Pat took 3rd.
