Comments: I decided to run this race since Hillsdale is one of the towns that boarder where I live and figured (wrongly, once again) that I would have an outside chance of winning the race. This was my first race as a master that I got an age grade Performance Level Percentage of over 80% (80.9%) based on compuscore's calculator. http://www.compuscore.com/agegrade/calculator.php This meets one of my yearly goals to achieve an 80 plp. The course was kind of poorly laid out with a 90 degree turn 100 ft or so into the race thru an opening about 10 to 15 wide and a few other oddities that one should expect at a local 5k run. By half a mile I was in 6 or 7th place with all HS guys ahead of me, however by 1.25 miles or so I moved into 3rd place and that is where I stayed since I was unable to make up any ground on 2nd. All in all I was very pleased with the time.
