Gotta love the small town races. You never know who could show up to make it a good race. Today I was lucky in that no one faster than me decided to run this race, that is the only reason I won. Not bragging, but it is kinda fun to lead a race from start to finish.

My pacing still leaves a lot to be desired. 5:24/5:47/6:02/:39. But my goal with this race was to bring down my first mile split to where I want it to be (5:20) and then try to sustain that as long as possible. Went well on the first part, not so much on the latter. A rolling hills course and unforgiving heat and humidity did not help me out at all.

 

Kelly was 2nd female overall and Lily was 1st in her age group.

Congrats on the win and a solid time for the weather.

5:20's... interesting...
