Notes
First two miles felt pretty good and I had to hold back some that first mile when the early pace was showing 7:00-7:15.
Felt like I died on the 3rd mile, but when you look at the Running Ahead elevation, I can see why. Recovered some on miles 4 & 5, but both measured long by quite a bit causing the manual splits to be over 8:00 when I was running sub 8.
Mile 6 felt pretty easy on the mostly downhill section before finishing the last .2 up hill.
Thought I would be a couple minutes faster, but it was tougher than I expected. The Go Johnny Go website says it is a certified course, but it seemed to be long.
But good enough for my first cash and age group win.
First race in the Distance Elite. They feel really good and should be good for all my racing.
