| Notes | This was my first race in about a year; a local 5k put on by Klein High School. Since I haven't raced in some time and the workouts I've been doing really haven't lent themselves to a good estimate of my fitness, I had no idea what kind of time to expect or how I'd be feeling with a hard effort. I very likely predestined myself as I walked from the parking lot to the start area. Some quick math, suggested 7 minute miles were too slow and 6:30 was too fast. So I settled on 6:45. I'd like to think that's very nearly what I ran because I'm so tuned in to my body. In reality, I think I ran 6:45 simply because I pre-programmed myself to do so. I likely had a faster time in me. Perhaps not significantly faster; just faster than what I ended up with. Running the race is good as it now serves as my new baseline for training paces. Other tidbits: the Overall Men's Masters winner ran 18:30. He is 62 years old. I won the 40-49 age group and received a small plaque. Somehow a 21:04 doesn't seem worthy of a plaque but I suppose it's representative of the field more than anything else. I also came in 15th overall. I believe many of those ahead of me were the high school cross country team. It was fun and good to be "back in the race". http://eztoregister.com/assets/Bearkat13.HTM# 5 | |||
