Not the most auspicious start to the run because I had a little bit of a hangover this morning. I went to Green St last night, every time I go there I seem to drink too much. I had a little coffee and an apple with peanut butter, and got to the race start at 10:30, all ready to go. And then realized that the race started at 11! In the end it was probably a good thing that I got there early because I got to digest and people watch, so by the time it started I was feeling ok.
My unofficial time is 31 min 20 sec which is a 10 min, 6 sec mile. I was hoping to get 10 min mile, but this course is pretty hilly, so I was happy with my results. I did meet the one race goal I set for myself - there was a guy behind me dressed like Big Bird, full feathers and all, and so I set my goal as "not being passed by Big Bird," which I did manage to accomplish! I did get passed by a Festivus Pole, but Festivus decorations are designed to be simple, so I was OK with that.
The race started out slow at the beginning because it was so crowded. By the time I got to the 1K mark I realized I was going almost a 10 min mile, and wanted to try to keep it up. I went a little slower on the uphill bits, and then when I got to the last downhill at about 2.8 miles, I sprinted. So, it wasn't exactly an even pace.
One hundred runs. Go me! :)
