Ok. Missed my PR by 7 seconds, but I started so close to the start line (took 9 seconds to cross start line) and I placed 4th in my division (F45-49) which is the highest I've ever placed in a large race! So, I'm happy. I think if it weren't so windy, I probably would have gotten a new PR. It was so windy, my hat not only blew off my head, but it was swept several feet in less than a second...I decided to leave it where it fell! Also, I was working hard not to get blown backwards....It was that windy.
Anyway, aside from the wind, it was a great run. I ran at a comfortable pace, the temperature was good and the course was flat...and new, actually--we approached Angels Stadium from the "other side", wherever that was, which made the run more interesting.
Not much to say beyond that. So here are my stats:
Div Place (F 45-49): 4/503 (~1%)
Gender Place: 68/6407 (1%)
Overall Place: 350/10449 (3%)
5K split: 26:42
10K split: 52:16
15K split: 1:20:18
Net Time: 1:51:22
