3rd and final Wachusett 5K trail race. I had marked approximate split locations for each half mile, though at race time I only remembered where the .5 and 1.0 mile hacks were. I wanted to get a better idea of the pace, and whether I was dogging it early in the race. I didn't think so, but it was hard to tell.
This week, I thought I was in about 11th after the start, passed 2 people around .5M, and was eventually passed by 2 or 3 others between .5 and 1.25 miles. After that, no passes, even though I thought I could nip a guy wearing a Wapack Trail race Tshirt on the last hill. I didn't have it in me today, though I managed to preserve my position on the last major uphill.
I thought I raced harder this week than last, but clocked almost the exact same time.
The Tshirt for completing all 3 races was a bit disappointing: large sponsor logos, no graphics other than logos, plain white, nothing to get worked up over. For the race I wore my 1998 Billygoat shirt (aka PG as Satan^H^H^H^H^Ha cross between a man and a goat), though it was too hot for a cotton Tshirt.
