Subject: RE: July 4th, Sunday10K this morning, not sure if I met my goal pace or not. It was a 'handicap' race, where they start you out in groups based on the national 10K record for your age. It theoretically gives everyone an equal chance at finishing first (so, for instance, the 70-year-old women start 17 minutes ahead of the 20-year-old men ). But then you have to add (subtract? No, add ) your handicap onto the finish line clock to get your actual running time.......arithmetic is impossible when I've been running. Between 7:40 and 7:50 pace, but I wanted it to be 7:40 and I don't think I quite made it.
Then hilly biking with a couple of friends, did 15 miles and threw in the towel.  I'm beat.
Have a good 4th, everyone! |
