Run Hit Wonder

I felt the need to have a 'carrot' to force me to train, so I signed up for the Run Hit Wonder. I did get a few training runs in, but not as much as I probably should have. The bands were not as good as last year (They had Devo and Ton Loc last year!), but it was still a good time. The start was packed. It took me three minutes to get to the start line. My watch gave the final time to be 47:55. Not too bad. Here's the breakdown on mileage (this is here so I can look back in the future):

• Mile 1: 8:12
  
• Mile 2: 8:02
  
• Mile 3: 7:40
  
• Mile 4: 7:31
  
• Mile 5: 7:46
  
• Mile 6: 7:29

The first two miles were very crowded, that's why the slow times (the first mile was even all downhill). If I was in shape, I should be able to do 6:45's.

After the race, another Ultimate player saw me and invited me to play with their team, Dirty XXX, in the upcoming Kleinman Eruption tournament. I said sure (as I am never going to Turkey...) and that meant practice later in the afternoon. I can feel my legs today!

UPDATE! (7/27) The official results are in. They clocked me at 47:54 and that worked out to be 605th out of 4874 people. Check here for the full results.
