Ok. Missed my PR by 7 seconds, but I started so close to the start line (took 9 seconds to cross start line) and I placed 4th in my division (F45-49) which is the highest I’ve ever placed in a large race! So, I’m happy. I think if it weren’t so windy, I probably would have gotten a new PR. It was so windy, my hat not only blew off my head, but it was swept several feet in less than a second…I decided to leave it where it fell! Also, I was working hard not to get blown backwards….It was that windy.
Anyway, aside from the wind, it was a great run. I ran at a comfortable pace, the temperature was good and the course was flat…and new, actually–we approached Angels Stadium from the “other side”, wherever that was, which made the run more interesting.
Not much to say beyond that. So here are my stats:
Div Place (F 45-49): 4/503 (~1%)
Gender Place: 68/6407 (1%)
Overall Place: 350/10449 (3%)
5K split: 26:42
10K split: 52:16
15K split: 1:20:18
Net Time: 1:51:22
