Helen Keller 5 miler race in Tuscumbia
Exercise: Went with Ronnie N. to this race. Very hot and humid on a hilly course. Had hoped to break 32 minutes, but only managed 32:56 (6:36 per mile average). 5th overall out of 136, 1st in age group out of 15.
My Garmin had 5.09 miles for the race - splits were:
6:18
6:38
6:30
6:53
6:33
Tried to start out conservatively (Ronnie had predicted I'd start out with a 6:15 first mile). No one passed me after the race started, and I picked off 4-5 along the way. 3 out of top 5 were Masters runners (40+) . Everyone I talked to said they also faded some in the final two miles (heat, humidity, and hills).
Total mileage for the week: 7.18
Total mileage for the month : 109.78
