Notes
This was supposed to be my peak race of the season, I approached it that way, but with having to run here instead of Doonhamer, (because the race closed early). it took a bit of my motivation away from me.
Having my mother and Eleni to watch me run and support me, did help big time with getting pumped up to run well. I felt a bit off and had to gut out this run. I stayed with the other top 60-64 age runners to about halfway and then they dropped off. I ran mostly by myself the last mile. If I had someone with me. I might have gone 5-10 seconds faster.
I got first in 60-64 easily by almost a minute.
It was a good race effort wise, but I did expect a go closer to 41:00. The course was a little tougher than expected, do this was a factor as well.
The great news iseven though the hamstring stated to act up at mile 4, it didn't get worse and after the race it felt fine.
Overall 26 / 252 (10.3%)
