![]() Run
Comments: I started towards the front and at the 7-7:30 sign. Ran the first mile at a comfortable pace and focused on form. At mile 1, checked my pace and decided I could hold that pace for the entire race. The course quickly thinned out. I paced on some other runners. Felt comfortable through the 3 mile turn. At three miles increased my effort (heart rate). Unfortunately my pace didn't get any faster because of a series of hills during miles 4 and 5. What would you do differently?: Train more and run harder. ![]() Post race
Warm down: Walked back to the car and grabbed my ice chest. Waited at the finish for Michele. She finished in 1:07:58. Not bad. The post-race party included The Emrald City Band - one of our favorite bands. Sat in the grass at the Arboretum and listend to Emrald City. It was a great morning and a really cool venue. What limited your ability to perform faster: Not enough training. The past two weeks' training hasn't been consistent due to traveling for work. Event comments: Great race and great venue.
