Notes
Forgot Garmin--no splits or HR data. Goal was to go comfortably fast for 3 miles. Without Garmin, started at 1.5 mile marker and went to 2.9 and back, so by markers course was 2.8 miles. I know my Garmin figures it longer, by about .06 or so each way, so could have been 2.92. For now I'll split the difference at 2.86, but will check it a few times and see what I come up with when I actually remember my GPS.
I tried for brisk, not exhausting, but probably pushed harder than I should have. Which is funny, because when I have my watch, maintaining about 11:30 isn't that hard.
Wore C9, orange Indy Runners short sleeved shirt under thicker Pearl Izumi blue jacket, Mini cap, blue gloves (took off, then dropped down bank--they almost went into water). Used phone to time myself, ended up subtracting about 15-20 secs for the glove incident, plus had to stop for several seconds at a street crossing.
Headwind on outbound was rather unpleasant. This is nowhere near as cold as the worst of Finland, but there I rather enjoyed it. Here, not so much.
