Running race 27:44 [5] 3.07 mi (9:02 / mi) +32ft 8:57 / mi
shoes: Montrail Bajada III size 11.0
St. Joseph (MI) 5K race (Race for the YMCA), mostly along the (Lake Michigan) lakefront. The good news is I was 3rd in my age group; the slight bad news counter to that is there were only 5 people in my group.
In addition to being middle of the pack in my age group, I was also middle of the pack overall; 105th out of 213 finishers.
Started out way too fast as I positioned myself further up in the starting area than I really should have. It was a narrow (bike path width) starting line and a moderately big field, plus there was a 5K and 10K and everyone started together. So I got swept along at a pace that was definitely too fast for me to maintain; I think I was going around 8:20/mile for the first half mile or so. I eventually settled into a more doable, but still challenging for me, pace.
Took a couple of walking breaks, reasonably short.
