Bob - 1 h 24:44 (6:28 m/m)
Placed 62/15,500...kind of a lot of people
PR by 1 min 37 sec , wanted to be under 1h:25, so i met that goal, but hoped I would have been faster.
Got dropped off w/ Ann and Dennis on 130th ave s about .25 mile from the start, sweet!
Miles 1~6.2: goal was to start a 6:35 pace, ran to that 5k split 20:33, 10K split 41:00. Uphill from mile 4 to 5 was a bit slow (6:45), but I didnt want to go too hard at this point. Downhill miles 5 to 6 was easy to get the time back (6:09).
Miles 6 to 9: ran 6:29 pace. goal was to run 6:20 to 6:25 pace, but this just did not seem comforatble. a bit suprised by the little hill at mile 8 or so.
Mile 10: uphill onto I-90 express lanes then slight uphill for about 1/2 mile, 6:40. Got passed by the lead marathon guys who were running at 5:09 pace - motorcycles, veiwing VIP flatbed, TV camera truck. they were flying. saw them go through their halfway point at 1:07
Mile 11~finish: 6:07 pace. downhill, except for the uphill on 2nd ave. steep downhill onto columbia hurt. dont think i could have run this section faster.
Overall, fast course, temp stayed cool which was nice.
