Notes
Bitter cold 19F at the noon start of the Shamrock 15k. Just enough time for 2.5 miles warm-up plus a couple strides. Last time here in 2011 = 1:00:17. Aimed for ~1:02 today.
Uneven splits expected on this downhill-uphill course into the Cuyahoga. Started out with L15Y for the first 1200m or so before finding my pace down the hill. Averaged 6:13 through four miles before starting up the hill. Fifth mile in 7:21 and hung pretty well to the end, taking it mile-by-mile. Lucky to have about 7-8 runners in view ahead to chase throughout.
Finished 14th OA, but heard the top-3 missed a turn.
Tough course, good ass-kicking to provide a little humility. Check the map tab above for the elevation change. (Forgot to turn off the watch at the end, hence a couple extra miles afterwards.)
