Event comments:

Happy overall. First road race. Goals were to establish a 10k baseline, learn how a 10k feels/how to run one, have some fun. Went in hoping for a pace of 8' or better. Met all.

2/27: results are in. I was in the top 3rd overall, top 50% of the men and just squeeked into the top half of my age group. A solid MOP effort. Not bad considering I've been running for 1.5 years after 27 years of smoking.

Onward.

Is there a better, more supportive board on the entire web? I can't imagine it.
