The weather threatened - of course it did, without Charmin' Jimmy present, inclement weather is always all but a certainty. We did somehow find a window of opportunity on a day that saw over an inch of rainfall, and at least 10 hardy souls made the effort.
To the times:
Aaron did a terrific job tonight, easily winning the "Even Split" contest. Four straight 6:03 miles was a huge boost to the confidence. He looked really good afterward too.
John T. had another great run. Those were some nice splits, John.
Allen, Chris, and Scott were up-and-down, but that last split really came in. I overheard some discussion about the Garmins and adjustments to the second mile. My guess is all their splits were actually more even, and they simply need to trust the course.
Tim G. gave blood today. Another data point, Sully.
Dan D. didn't bring a watch. Too bad, run doesn't count!
Sandy had a nice drop in second and third splits. Really nice job there, Sandy. I can see your confidence rising, too.
Danny got off a little quick again, but he held a sub-8 average for the first time. It's getting better all the time.
I didn't have a great one. I got slowly worse as the run went on. My hip hurt a bit, not severely, but some. The real culprit was, I believe, the absence of Jimmy. It's your fault, dude!
Those racing Saturday - take Thursday and Friday easy or off. 10k is not a distance to disrespect. No need to get hurt, no need to break yourself down too far. You want to leave the race with confidence you can run farther, not feel destroyed.
See you all this weekend.
