AM race

Weather for race was perfect.

Warmed up 2+ miles.

Race started with 5k but we started 200 meters behind them so first mile was zig zag hell.  I did manage to catch first 5-k guy before mile mark, 5:05.

Caught the lead bikers, but just before 2 they turned left and I had to go right.  Mile 2 in 5:15, felt comfy.

Went to a turn around cone that was on side of road, so pretty much had to come to dead stop and start again.  Got back to intersection and had to deal with 5-k runners again.

Mile 3, 5:22.

Mile 4 I just tried not to get lost and stopped at multiple intersections to ask for directions.  5:41.

Mile 5 I knew where I was and picked it back up to 5:23.

First half of mile 6 again trying not to get lost, hammered the rest of the way in.

Mile 6 slow, 5:35, but second half of that mile at 5:05 pace.  last .22, 59 seconds.

New marathon shoes are awesome, just not for 10-k, a little heavy.  the extra cushioning will be great for marathon.

Overall time of 33:25.

3 mile cooldown.
