Unable to sandbag a win on this fairly hilly course like last year, but able to do something resembling a double effort with some glorified strides on the track afterward. Somewhat tired going in, cursory warmup. Dropped by the eventual winner of the race within the first few minutes, when we started going uphill and it was clear he wasn't coming back I went into maintenance mode which turned out to be slower than I would have liked, i.e. slower than 6 minute pace. With the faster first mile of 5:25 combined with the slower last three, six minute pace was the overall result. Not thrilled with this although finding out I wouldn't go home empty-handed took some of the sting off. After about a 10 minute break, jogged over to the Bentley track which took 10 minutes and completed three sets of 300 (jog 400), 200 (jog 300), 100 (jog 300). I had thought of doing something more taxing but after the way the race went I knew better than to even try it. A bit windy on the track but overall got in what I wanted to accomplish. Splits:
59.8 (1:57)
38.1 (85.5)
18.6 (83.8)
58.6 (1:45.6)
37.7 (80.0)
17.9 (84.1)
56.7 (1:49.6)
37.0 (88.9)
17.7
