Road running race 37:37 [5] 8.0 km (4:42 / km)
shoes: Adrenaline 14-2nd
Kensington 8K. Finish time 37:41, net time 37:37. About 30 sec faster than last year, that's the good news. Second place in age group, same position as last year. But not a very good run, and, like last year, I lost it on the hill from mile 3-4. Near the top was where the other guy passed me, and there was nothing I could do about it. This is especially galling because I've always thought I was relatively fast on hills. But I guess not now.
I got the first two mile splits at 7:08 and 14:15, but I didn't see any mile markers after that. Mostly downhill to the first mile, so that split isn't bad, but the second mile was surely too fast. From mile 2 to 3 I was breathing 2-1, and on the hill 1-1. Over the top of the hill and there's still a mile to go, but I never got my speed up again.
I guess I'm the geezer of this lot.
