Less of a turnout than I thought, as well - maybe 100 people at the start? Maybe.

And a really loopy course - Starting at Scheels, we went around the parking lot, halfway around the Marina, out onto city streets, back to the Marina and all the way around it this time, then a shortened loop around the parking lot. My watch measured just under 6 miles, I think the second parking lot loop was shortened because of traffic.

Here's some photos from the race, all available at Flickr:





I didn't realize that the t-shirt actually had the "bib" number on it - I though the number was the date of the race. So that's why everyone was wearing their race shirts. Felt awash in a sea of red sometimes there...
I was trying to keep it slow - and succeeded, for a mile or two. My speed slowly crept up, and I ended averaging 8:00 miles. Here are the splits:
1 - 8:31
2 - 8:29
3 - 8:02
4 - 7:56
5 - 7:44
6 - 7:16
And the graph:

Fun little race - hope it doesn't tire me out too much for tomorrow. Got my recovery socks on...

Nice splits! That's the first time I've ever seen the bib numbers on the shirts- did you not wear yours? Kind of a cool idea, but sounds expensive... Did you place? :)
Since I wasn't tracking the run with the Nike+ software, my results won't really figure in anyway... And no, I wanted to wear a long sleeve shirt.
nice negative splits!
"Don't see those TOO often"?
