This was an interesting race. The sun was beating down on everyone, and the humidity made it feel like someone was squeezing your lungs. I guess when a fun run has an ambulance stationed at the finish line, you kind of know what to expect for that day.
Cutting to the chase:
Mile 1: 5:49, felt great, but knew I wouldn't hold that pace for the entire time, immediately backed off.
Mile 2: 6:22 I guess I backed off a lot. Felt great, but realized this pace wasn't going to get me a gold medal (not that they were giving those out)
Mile 3: 6:08 Felt nice, the heat and humidity bore down on everyone, so all times were slow.
Overall time: 19:08 (no sprint to the finish, just kept last mile pace going)
Not a bad time considering all the heavy lifting performed the day before helping Jim move his stuff. Actually I don't think any of that had an effect on me. It was a great race overall, a nice way to end my short distance season....marathon training starts Monday.
