walking warm up/down 10:00 [1]
weight:163lbs shoes: Sala Runner 3
warm-up for East Fork Trail Run. mix of pavement and trail. Started to jog the final quarter mile of course and did the worst ankle roll I have done in a while. This was just over an hour before my start time, and for most of the next hour I was on-again-off-again debating whether to run. I probably should not have, but finally decided in favor of doing the run.
trail running race 54:40 [4] 5.3 mi (10:19 / mi)
(injured) shoes: Icebugs
This is a seeded start race, based on age and gender, with the idea that the oldest women start first and the young fast guys start last.
The first three hilly miles were pretty good, not exceptional, but quite tolerable, given my overall fitness & the problem ankle. But after the 3rd mile, the heat, humidity, muddy trails, the gimpy ankle, and allergies conspired to slow me down. I had started two minutes behind Pat Meehan (Orunner) and one of my goals had been to catch and pass him. If I had been able to maintain pace, it could have been a very interesting finish. Meanwhile, Dave Waller started 4 minutes behind me, and another of my pre-race goals had been to NOT let him catch me, but catch me he did, reeling me in about mile 4.5. Oh well, there is next year.
miles:
9:58, 9:49, 10:13, 11:25 (yuck), 11:33 (yuck).
comparison to past races:
2005 52:32
2007 50:01
2008 51:00
2011 54:40
odd years run counter-clockwise, even years run clockwise.
