I missed the June race by a few hours as we flew in later that evening. I last did this in 2017. It's super well organized and the track is in top condition. This was going to be my midweek speedwork and effort to shake my legs out as I recover from the half.
They do awards strictly by age groups and my butt is in the 40-59...That's a pretty big spread. I have no idea where my performance came from, but I ran this one really smart with each 200 building speed. My final 400 was an 87. (91,2:16,3:00,3:43). All those youngsters went out really fast and I started picking them off after the first 500. There are still 5 minute miles in these legs! I was not fully recovered from the half just three days before so went out conservatively only to realize I had quite a lot more in my legs. I won my division and raced with familiar faces :) Having people to chase down really helps me get better performances. This was my best km in at least 4 years because I had people to push me.
