I obviuosly have little sense of how fast I'm running. I didn't start my watch until the beginning of mile 2 (hit the wrong button at the start), but when I looked at my watch at the 2 mi marker, it was under 7 min! I was shocked because I haven't run that pace in recent training ( i.e. since high school). I dialed it back a bit after that.

I need to work on finishing the last 200 yds stronger. Also drinking on the run.

Grabbed some watermelon and something to drink, found some shade, then went to the finish line to watch co-workers finish the race. Hung out and talked to them for a bit. Watched awards ceremony. Rode bike around the park a couple of times and then home (another ~13 mi).


Lack of kick at the end, inconsistent pacing.


A fun, low key race for a holiday morning.
