Ramsey Run - 10K

36:22
7th overall out of 168
Pace/Mile: 5:51
Age Grade: 79.9%
Age Group Place: 1st of 38
Date: 9/13/2008
Splits (5:36, 11:30, 17:30, 23:25, 29:33, 35:15)
Comments: My pace was all over the place from 5:36 to 6:08 per mile, however I felt good and was pleased with my time. The Don Bosco HS XC team showed up again this year and ruined any hopes of me winning this year like in 2004 when nobody showed up. (http://www.compuscore.com/cs2004/sept/ramsey1.htm) Maybe I will have to duck the competition and run the 5K next year instead, if I am still in shape. I was pleased with my age grade of 79.9%, which is my highest since college, still short of my goal of 80.0% as a master.

Glen Rock Arboretum 5 Mile Run

29:16
2nd overall out of 151
Pace/Mile: 5:51.2
Age Grade: 78.3%
Date: 9/1/2008
Splits (5:57, 11:40, Missed, 23:16) I did not pay close attention to the splits so these may not be accurate.
Comments: The first place guy started to pull away from me slightly before 4 miles. I was just not able to go with him; it was more about me not being able to maintain the pace then him actually picking up the pace. Oh well 2nd place again.
