ReplyDeleteJustine's achilles laid him up- I don't think he planned to run.
ReplyDeleteNice job guys, I’m so jealous, can’t run to many fun road races when marathon training. I hope to be joining in the road race gtown slaughter house come summer.

Thanks everyone. Christiam PR'd by 20 secs or so too.
ReplyDeleteBelow is my "report"...
I ran the Kelly St. Patrick's Day Shamrock 5K today in Baltimore. The goal was to either run 15:19 or finish 3rd. If it took going out in 4:45 for the first mile, I was ready to do it. I wanted to get out and compete with competition and use this race as a workout for the upcoming Cherry Blossom 10 Miler (4/1).
The race went out quick and I ducked behind Dave Berdan of Baltimore. I knew he was the favorite and I wanted to make sure I stuck near him. The first mile dips downhill and I quickly came along side Berdan before shying up and letting him take the lead. When the downhill flattened out, Berdan surged and I answered. We hit the 1st mile in 4:36 but it felt fine. Soon Berdan began to pull away. It was obvious he was comfortable and kept looking over his shoulder to see if I was going to come with him. I did but it wouldn't be for long. By mile 1.5 (a U-Turn) Berdan had a slight lead on me and I struggled to maintian contact. We hit mile 2 in a quick 9:38 (4:49 mile pace) but I still felt comfortable, yet not 100%. At 2.25 Joe Weigner came up behind me and began to lay down a surge. I responded but I was a frankly whipped by the early pace. Weigner really put the hammer on and made a good run for the finish chasing the leader Berdan. I fought hard in the last 1/2 mile but my competition oulled away. I ended up fininshing 3rd and running a PR 15:21. I won $100 for my efforts and walked away happy.
In retrospect it was a good race. The next race is the St Patrick's Day 8k in DC NEXT Sunday. It's a fast race - 23:36 won last year. I won't reveal my goal (bad karma?) but I hope to PR. Again, the big race will be the Cherry Blossom 10 Miler on April 1.
Glad to see the hard work paying off. Good job Christiam and Jake.
