Notes
decided to do this race just for fun and see where I am at. Goal was a 63 something or faster. Figured if I could do that then I would be heading in the right direction. First mile had a lot of downhill so i was out fast as was everybody. They didn't have mile markers until the 5th mile so I was going of feel and knew I was out to fast and slowing up. Guy beside me at a GPS that peeped every kilometer between 3k-6k so I got a little look at where I was at. Hit 3k in 10:56 and 6K in 22:30 so could already see the trend of getting slower. 5th mile was hit in 30:37 which i knew would be hard to duplicate but figured i could muster a 32:00 second 5 and come in under 63 but that wasn't to be the case. Sharp, short inclines were breaking up my stride bad in the second half and just couldn't get in a good rythem. Had to run a 6:08 last mile to break 63 and I just didn't have it in me. May have wimped out a little. Overall pleased with the race. It was ran in the afternoon so it was a very hot race howevery i don't feel it effected me much. The biggest problem i had was the hills although i was covered in salt after the race.
