Monte Sano 10K and 5K races

Exercise: Ran 2 races this AM on Monte Sano mountain. These were the final races of the year for the Huntsville Track Club Grand Prix series, which means they are usually well attended with lots of really fast people. Going in I was in 2nd place in the Master's (40+) Grand Prix standings, with two faster guys behind me with a chance for them to overtake me. Luckily my nearest foe, Marty Clarke, did not show up. And just behind him, George Dewitt, only ran the 10K (winning the master's division and its 100 points). So, I think I was able to maintain my final 2nd overall standings. In the 10K, I ran a 41:53, finishing 21/313 overall and 3/31 in my age group (after George DeWitt was taken out as overall Master's winner). At this point, I really didn't feel like doing the 5K, but decided to do it to get some extra mileage. I started out really slow, but the competitive juices picked up the last couple of miles. Finished it in 21:15, 3/23 age group, 47/491 overall. Counting my warmup, got 10 good miles in today.
