Notes
forgot to start garmin right at the start, but splits should be pretty accurate, garmin said 6.28 miles, 49:02...my ultimate goal was 48 minutes, but I was really happy w/ how my strategy worked! kept effort at 'cruise' pace that did feel a little slow, but definitely manageable, for the first three miles, and then picked it up after that and was able to pick off at least a dozen people over the rest of the race (which, I won't lie, felt pretty damn good, considering at one point they were so far away I thought that would be impossible) to end up w/ a second place in my age group! thank god for cloud cover...it was very warm and humid, but at least the sun wasn't blazing, and towards the end there was even a light misting/drizzle..they also were kind of silly in starting the 10k five minutes after the 5k, b/c we had to maneuver around a bunch of walkers, strollers, etc...twice! b/c it was mostly the same loop twice...UPDATE 9/17-SOMEHOW BUMPED TO 3AG :(
