Saturday - Nov. 18

Dirty Dirty 12k race
 - Cuyahoga Valley National Park
 - 7.42 (on watch)
 - 1:03:42
 - 8:35 pace
 - aveHR 167
 - maxHR 180
 - 18th overall of 216
 - 2nd of 23 in the 35-39 age group

Very happy with my overall performance today.  Weird for me to say/think a 12k race isn't too long, but it still is.  I thought I could run strong for this distance, but it wasn't a priority race so I didn't taper going into it.  I went out fast 8-8:30 pace and held that through mile 4.  I had to dial it back to 9-minute pace for the next 2 miles before finishing strong, the last 0.5 miles being 7:15 pace.
