Running (dirt) warm up/down (trail) 7:10 [3] 0.89 km (8:05 / km) +4m 7:54 / km
ahr:142 max:154 shoes: Trail NB 704 8.5D
Jogging around trails near start/finish of the Y's 5K Flag Day race. Saw a couple of course marshalls already in place to direct us...they were well staffed.
Temps were around 68-70 during the warmup, rising into the 70s by race end. Very nice conditions for running which was mostly in the woods. Glad there was no leftover rain after last night's T-storm!

10 AM
Running (dirt) race (trails and parking lot) 44:45 [4] 4.94 km (9:03 / km) +143m 7:55 / km
ahr:157 max:171 shoes: Trail NB 704 8.5D
Trail race with 50-60 others, many dressed for the occasion (there was a trio of young women with tutus, and an ex-serviceman carrying a standard size US flag on a pole, among others. I wore my OUSA shirt [team supporter 2012, so not the current version]).
Some roots, mud from last nights T'storm, and some killer hills which I walked...both times, because the park was small enough that we got to go around twice. There were some nice downhills to go with the ups and I made use of them to catch up to the 52-year-old in front of me near the end of the first loop.
As we approached the start of the second loop, the winner crossed the finish line, and the other woman, whose teen son was also running, slowed down to see if she could see him finish; she said he usually laps her. Turns out he finished third male overall. So I got ahead there and stayed ahead, but she was closing at the end.
My total was a bit more than twice the winner's time, about where I usually am. Only two women over 60, and I was first so got a medal (woohoo). The only class with more than four competitors was the female 20-29 group. Top three women placed 4-5-6 overall, and the 2nd girl was a tiny 11-year-old! Respect. (Her 8-yr-old sister finished 14th; I was about 34th.)
Felt good about getting through it running where there weren't uphills, and with no noticeable aches afterwards (just tired muscles). Track later.
