Run
Comments: Wasn't sure of my pacing, so I started toward the front of the 8-9 min/mile group. Not sure what my first two miles were for pacing, since I didn't start my watch on time and didn't see the first mile marker. So I had a nice 5k with a 15 minute warm-up. Ran well, negative split the last 3 miles (7:20, 7:10: 7:00). Would have run the last mile faster, but the course was changed and I thought I had further to go than I did. Very happy with my times. I was aiming for a sub 40:00 (8 minute miles), so I missed my mark a bit. What would you do differently?: Probably not run with tights on. It was very cold in the morning, but I was a little warm once we started running. Post race
Warm down: Walk back to car. Event comments: This was my third or fourth Cherry Creek Sneak. It's a nice race to start the spring, plus a pretty quick Bolder Boulder qualifier (if you need one). Very easy to get into/out of, convenient location in Denver, nice flat course. Packet pickup was inconvenient, I think next time I'll just pick it up on raceday. Good size for a race that doesn't require qualifying. 3800 runners in the 5 mile, another 3000 in the 5k. Last updated: 2008-02-19 12:00 AM
