2016 Trinity 5000 Summer Series Week 9

7.28.16

week 9.

The temps dropped a little tonight due to some short rain storms.  We arrived a little later than normal, and had eaten at 6, so, I was a little concerned about the recent meal and lack of time to stretch.

I got off to a good start and paced with Duane until about .75 miles, when I passed him.  Mile 1 in 8:33 and feeling good.  We were running into a slight headwind, but, I knew we would get the benefit of the tailwind on the way back.  I made the turn and realized that Duane was still close. Not long after the turn, I saw Griffin.  He was having a GREAT race!  Mile 2 was slightly slower at 8:41.  I posted a 8:39 mile 3 and kicked down the stretch.  Total time:  26:50.  A full minute faster than last week and my fastest time of the 2016 series.

As I headed back for Griffin, I didn't have to walk far, as he was just a few minutes behind me.  He posted a 30:21.  A new PR by more than a minute!  He'll break the 30 minute mark this year.

Good week!
