Notes

* 8:49 First Mile; hovering between 7:45 & 8:20 on those following...

A great showing, comfortable but not too much so... Definitely a social scene this time around, especially as I know Mastro friend Cliff Bentsen will be there, and Ric & Shirley are (fingers crossed) assumed, but new "EaT" friends/neighbors Erika & Tim Lebling and Jamie & Jay Wolfradt are fine surprises!

I feel fairly strong throughout, even as I don't burn out of the gate too hard this time (there is, in fact, no real "gate," which is why I'm not able to start GAR properly and on time,) but I don't have any extra surge power approaching the Chute, either. I am also left with the distinct thought, particularly now as we're planning on another Spring Marathon, that I can easily see myself running significantly better if I but train for it - My feet feel utterly comfortable throughout, and with a bit better breath/conditioning, another minute or so less is easily attainable. Perhaps next time, motivation pending...
