Notes
Narragansett 10M race. Stretch goal was sub 60 if possible. Recent races suggested a time in the low 61 min range was more likely. Got stuck in bathroom line so started too far back in the pack and had to hustle and scramble around slower runners during mile 1. Tried to push the pace early, probably too much. Started to struggle a bit mid-race and couldn't hold the pace. Ended up with a PR (previously was 1:02:25 in Feb, 2003. Splits: 6:01, 6:15, 5:49, 6:05, 6:08 (30:19), 6:23, 6:15, 6:16, 6:22, 6:07 (31:23). Gun time was 1:02:06. 57th out of 2706. Age group: 4th out of 385. 3 50+ year olds and 3 women finished ahead of me. Temp was around 70, overcast - rained before the race. Turned out to be pretty humid. Shouldn't have worn a shirt - got wet & heavy. Only water provided during the race - maybe should have brought some Gu.
