year 4 for this one for me.
In 2015, I set a (then) PR in this race at 24:27. I know this course well and know that fast times are possible.
This one would be a family affair. Griff and I would run, and, Lindsi would push Gage in the stroller.
We arrived a mild temps for July. It would be a good day to run. That said, my legs were feeling a little tired, and, I didn't feel well rested. I was curious to see how I'd feel once we got moving.
Much like my last T5000, I hoped to run low 8's and maintain.
I got out to a comfortable start, and was pacing low 8's...I believed I could settle in. Mile 1: 8:10. We circled back onto the trail and I passed a few folks as we headed north. Mile 2: 8:04...perfect. Now, just hang on.
I continued to push through mile 3, and booked 8:12. 7:45 pace for the .1, and a total time of 25:15. Not where I want to be, but, a big improvement over my last few races. My time was good for only 7th in my AG. Some fast folk out there for this one.
Griff came in next, booking a 34:16. Lindsi and Gage walked this one, but, got it done!
