Shamrock 10 miler and 5k - Run

 Run
Comments: Started out easy for the first four miles, talking with a friend. Had a goal of finishing in under 8:00/mile pace so had to do negative splits for the next six miles and was able to meet the goal. The last 6 miles average pace was 7:35 - even better than my PR 10K pace of 7:40! First time I've run a race like this and liked it.  Post race
Warm down: said some hellos, and then home for a nap. Event comments: Great volunteers at the aid stations, well run event. Last updated: 2006-03-12 12:00 AM

cereal and double espresso. 1/2 bottle of water my wife had left in the Jeep.
It was lightly raining, great for a race. Much better than hot sun. Maybe I should have double-checked the start time. For some reason I thought it was 7:30, but that was for the 5K and the 10-miler was actually 7:15. At 7:20 everyone was lining up and I thought I had enough time for a quick bathroom stop - maybe the fact that there was no line for the john should have been a clue that the race was about ready to start. Was slowly walking towards the start when I heard "5, 4, 3, 2.....". Was able to join the herd and ended up running along side a friend.
