7 miles - 3 mile warm up, then the striders 5k, then 1 mile cool down. that is one tough course! lots of climbing, lots of descending, according to garmin i ran 24:09 for 3.16 miles, a 7:39 avg. which i'm fine with given the course and my particular endowment of genes, and the early season etc.
splits for 5k as per garmin: 7:53, 7:54 (a lot of climbing these first couple of miles), 7:19 (some climbing, mostly falling down hill), 1:01 for the last .16 mile (6:26 pace).
overall 83/636
dudes 50-54 8/32
*it should be noted that the weather, on the first race in the striders WINTER circuit race series, in the first week of february, was dry and temps in the low 60's. i hope the trend continues throughout the rest of the series.
WT 47 miles
thirty-nine
