Overall Rank = 64/565
Age Group = 50-54
Age Group Rank = 3/13

Event warmup:

Jogged around a bit and performed some stretching exercises...my hamstrings were a bit tight from bending over to plant about 400 pine seedlings on a friends farm (Saturday). Saw some friends and chatted while we waited for the gun to go off. We aren't the fastest runners so we placed ourselves about halfway back in the pack.

Comments:

Hadn't run much because of a plantar fasciitis issue in both feet so I was pretty happy with my run. Best run time before the injury was 25:10.

What would you do differently?:

Place myself a little bit more toward the front of the group. The 1st quarter mile was pretty slow due to the number of people I had to weave around.

Warm down:

Drank some water, moved around a bit, and waited on my friends to finish.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Age, talent, training

Event comments:

Nicely organized. Lots of great costumes.
