Comments Great morning for a race, fitness test after about 2 months of running. Great field lined up both men and women. Ritz looked like a machine warming up, and all the women looked like men. Wasn't sure what to expect since I haven't tested myself lately, Hoping for 5:30s as a gage. Went out feeling relaxed just following the long trail of runners through downtown. felt decent through 5 just a bit below pace. Started to fatigue around the museum up to 9 miles. Got caught by an elite female with her male pacer around 10 miles. hung with them until about 1.5 to go and kicked it in hard leaving her way back. Started feeling good after 10 miles, wish I could have held the pace earlier on. Had trouble taking in water at 9 miles, I need to work on that before the marathon this fall. Messed up my breathing rhythm a bit. Got smoked by 6 women today although only 3 ran faster than my PR of which all were beastly africans. Pleased with the result at this point, closed well after struggling in the middle...
