Yellow Rose

The weather was perfect for the Yellow Rose today - sunny, low 60s, very little wind.

There were at least 200 runners today!


It was a good start. I didn't let my emotions get the best of me. I kept it to about a 10 min pace.




I pretty much ran exactly as planned: approx 10 min pace for the first mile, 9:45 for the second mile and 9:30 for the third mile. 

I waved at Phil and Marcia:


I'm getting close to the end:



Right near the end, a 71-year-old fellow from Roosevelt passed me! I couldn't let him beat me! I put it into another gear and probably beat him by a hundredth of a second.


I was happy to get back under 30 minutes. I was pleased with the negative splits. I don't think I could have done any better than I did - my max heart rate was 190! Unfortunately, I did not medal. I came in fourth place for the 60-69 men.
