The 2008 Running Fit “Serious Series” is now in the books with the final of the three races being run today.
The race was a good day, weather nice but not as hot as predicted. It did not rain, and the hills were not so steep as the other two races in the series.
While the hills were nothing like the Road Ends trail race, they were still long and steep enough to get the thighs burning. More hill work on the training schedule!!
By the numbers:
a) 5.0 miles.
b) ran at a 10:26 per mile pace, 52:12 total time (0:55:00 total time pre-race guess)
c) finished 81 out of 135 overall, so finished in the top 60% of all runners. . .
d) finished 3 out of 4 in my age group.
e) had a great time, which was the real race goal!
There are not a lot of pictures available but they are on the web site.
Until the final hill is conquered,
