August 1, 2010 (Morning)

Exercise Type: Run

Weather: 70 warm for racing

Comments:
8:50am; no watch, splits from the volunteers - 5:15, 10:36 (5:21), 15:37 (5:00), forget (20:50/5:13?), 26:25 (5:35?). Pack of 7 through 2 miles then some African from Toledo blew the race open; I was the first one to get dusted even though I dropped a 5 minute 3rd mile. Ran chasing a CRC guy that passed me after the wheels came off in the last 2 miles, so I finished 8th.

This was probably as good as I could have asked for since I didn't sleep well and long enough last night and didn't imbibe a lot but still probably too much at Mike and Leanne's wedding to race optimally. I learned that a lead pack can do anything, like drop a 4:50 mile out of nowehere, esp. if a 5mile race goes out at 26:15 pace when the winners usually break 25:00.
