Run
Comments: Despite never feeling "fast" during the race, I had a fantastic run. The start was a little hectic making my way through the crowd of 5kers that wanted to sprint from the start, but once they split off, I was able to settle into a pace I thought I could maintain. Was maintaining in the mid to high 5:30's till mile 5, then kicked it into gear. Passed a couple guys during the last mile on the bike path, and had a strong kick to the finish where I thought I would puke. :-) I haven't ran a standalone 10k in 2 years, and that was a flat 50:00 so to come so close to a sub 40:00 at my age is pretty crazy. As I waited for others to finish, I was surprised to hear my name called. I'd somehow managed to snag 2nd in my AG! Post race

Picked up a group of family members on the way down, the dropped me off near the start while they parked the car. Didn't want to get stuck in the back!
Did a few sprints and a little stretching.
