Not a day or a course for a full race effort, so I just went out steady and finished strong once the course straightened out. It was 55F with 20mph winds and some rain, so not a great day. The course had a lot of tight turns, was 2/3 gravel road or trail, and rolled just a bit. It was actually a nice course for running, but certainly not for running fast. I was able to talk to a few people that I hadn't seen in a lot of years, so I was really happy I got out there to run.

Cindy ran an excellent race, and got second place overall in 19:36! A very good time for her. It looks like she's starting off with a lot of the fitness she had last year at this time. Very cool!

1st is always good. Most Aussies would say you were bludging a bit going by the HR of that first mile ;)
Congrats to Cindy - very speedy.
I'm not sure about Sky's comment that declining energy is related to age - cheeky bugger! It's a balancing act. I'd like to think that more sleep would help the energy levels (as would less work, eating healthy, recovering from races etc). If I every get old, I'll blame age.
Very cool indeed! Congrats to you both. Nice strong finish.
Your performance certainly blows the age hypothesis out of the water.
More sleep and less work. I think Ewen is on to something.
Wow good job! I'm impressed! That's an awesome 5k time Cindy:)
Yep - it's good to see Cindy get off to a nice start, old man!
Well done on the win and 2nd place. I'm with Greg on the declining energy thing.
North Dakota's fittest couple for sure. That is a scary-low heart rate for mile 1, which is either a testament to your fitness or your ability to relax at the start...or perhaps both.
you two are amazing! congrats to you both...enjoy your summer of running and if you need a babysitter...i'm only a few miles away!
zoe is a little creeped out by your picture...she wants to know why buddy's daddy looks crabby!!
