Week: 28.5 miles
Workout: 0.5 mile warm up, 4 mile race
Yesterday, I volunteered to pick up race numbers and t-shirts for some of my teammates. I was very worried that I would wake up late this morning and not be able to meet them with their race numbers. I set about six different alarms to make sure I got up.
I did a 1/2-mile warm up to the starting line. I could not stop sweating, and I was still standing at the starting line!!! The NYRR website says it was 82 degrees and 53% humidity, but it felt much worse than that. I ran a 24:30 for the 4-mile race. Splits: 6:04, 6:00, 6:19, 6:07. Avg. 6:08/mile. 156th place out of 2525 men.
Our West Side YMCA men's team was 15th out of 36 teams. The women's team was 17th out of 31 teams. The men's masters team was 11th out of 43 teams. We missed 10th place by 1 second!
