Notes
I can't believe I won this race! Obviously a pretty slow time to win a race, but I'll take it! Started out behind 4-5 guys and decided to just "run my own race". I'm out of shape having just taken around a month off, and I didn't think I'd realistically be able to hang with them. But about half a mile in, I caught them. Then I felt like they were going too slow, so I went for the lead. I lead the rest of the way! It was tough running from the front, so I'm guessing that I would have had a faster time if I'd had some competition.
The run felt pretty good during the first 1.5 miles. At about halfway, I started to feel it and slowed the pace a bit. Obviously I've lost some speed-endurance, so I'm going to have to begin building that up again. Course was a little more "hilly" than what i'm used to, but it was really very mild compared to races I've run in Portland or elsewhere. The race consisted of 2 x 1.5mi loops, so there was also the issue of dodging slower runners as I caught them during loop #2.
