Turkey Trot Results

Here's a quick race report of the Cleveland Turkey Trot Race I ran today…

My race time was 42:54.70, which is a per mile pace of 8:35

I came in 19th out of 85 in my age group, which is top 22%.

The weather was cold and rainy and windy…brrrr!

I checked my stopwatch at each mile marker.  I ran the first four miles at around a pace of 8:10 per mile.  Whenever I felt myself slow down, I thought of Hal Higdon's quote "The winner is often the one who slows down the least", and that helped me pick up my pace again.  I hit the 4th mile marker at 34:00, so my last mile was the slowest, even tho I really felt as if I picked up the pace.   It was a fun race, and I'm happy with my result.
