Comments: Finish time was 49:45 (8:01/mile) Chip time was 49:21. Overall, I did much better than I ever expected, my goal was to do an 8:30 pace. I started out around that for the first two miles. Then, in the highland area I was able to keep up with a few guys running faster than myself, so I picked up my pace with them for the next two miles (probably under 8/mile), then the last two miles I actually passed them and kept it up until the finish. That was probably the fastest I could have kept up a pace for an extended period. Overall, my performance suprised me and I really enjoyed the race. What would you do differently?: Get in more training before the race. I really think it helped to run with people faster than myself, as I definitly could not have kept that pace up by myself.

Warm down: Got a free stretching at the race by physical therapy students (or massage?), wasn't that great, but I'll take what I can get. What limited your ability to perform faster: Genetics Last updated: 2004-11-06 12:00 AM

Woke up at 6:30am, made myself a smoothie for breakfast. Jumped in the shower, just to get warm. Left apt around 7:15am.
My first mile was my warmup. Probably the worst way to do it, especially because it was cold out, but I'm stubborn.
