Pre-race routine:

Got to the race early with Kevin and his dad John. Last year John kicked my ass by 2 minutes! My goal was to at least hang with him or even beat him this year since I had been training so much VS. last year. John is an avid cyclist and is in really good shape for a man in his 70's. Me being 31 I had no excuse for getting my ass kicked! LOL! We jogged around for a few minutes and then stretched... I was hoping to at least break the 61 minuttes from the year prior. John got 59 minutes last year, I guess we'll see!
Event warmup:

We jogged around for a few minutes and then stretched... then the gun went off and we were off and running! Here we go! :)

Felt perfect! Good pace! Mile one I hit at 7:31! I was shooting for 8 min miles so I negative split that one big time! I laid off more and more each mile. Mile 2 - 7:45, mile 3 - 7:50, mile 4 - 7:56, mile 5 - 7:40 (down hill on that one), & mile 6 - 7:48 (just happy to be finished), and then if you add the .2 you have a total of 8:06 per mile... not bad! I was just hoping for like 55 minutes not 50:22! Woo-Hoo!!! :) I ROCK!!!
What would you do differently?:

Nothing! This race rocked! I did way better than I had hoped!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Nothing... maybe I could have trained more, but not really!
