Warmed up around first loop of the "trail" race at Halfmoon town park. The gravel path was a pretty nice surface to run on; not dirt, not paved. Gorgeous weather, bright and sunny with temps in low 60s to start. This is a fundraiser for Mother Theresa Academy which we happened to see in the local road running magazine. Maybe others are saving themselves for the Mother's Day 5k in Schenectady tomorrow? :-)
Added FR track.
Shoes = older NB 704s (which they haven't made for years) that I dug out of my closet that are in better shape than the 706s that I currently use.
Running (dirt) race 31:01 [5] 4.99 km (6:13 / km) +5m 6:11 / km
Very happy with my time; wasn't sure I had 10:00/mi pace in me still, but I guess the occasional intervals helped. Also helps that the course was basically flat with a good surface. No hills to fight. :-).
2 of 3 F51-60, 38 of 67 overall; fastest time was relatively slow, 18:38
Added FR track.
Race time temp was probably mid 60s. The day warmed up to over 80 by mid-afternoon; about 78 when we left the park around 11:30.
