Notes
Woot! Great race! Goal was 7:30 pace and pretty much did it. Miles 4 and 5 always feel hard on this run (through Riverview), like there was a headwind and lots of turns, but it wasn't too bad. Felt pretty good too, was worried about last year's bout of GI distress in the last couple miles, but I was fine. Kept pace as steady as I could without pushing too hard. Didn't have much of a kick at the end though. Course re-routed to enter back gate by Moore St and finish like Valkyries 8k race. I do like this finish better.
Notes for next year: don't replant two rows of the garden on Friday. We had a late lunch and then a very light dinner of leftover pasta. Spent some time trimming the lilacs and watering the garden, but not much else. Napped from about 8 to 8:25, got ready and we left a little after 9. Went to Peter's office and used restroom, even did a short warm up to see how things were feeling (see GI distress comment above). Walked over the overpass with Jane Lanford (who ran 49:5'something tonight).
