I'm still on "vacation," but I am at the church tonight so I can rehearse the choir. Just wanted to report that I made my goal for the 10K (50 minutes) with a little room to spare. The course was hilly and there was not much shade. The worst part, however, was that the water stations were poorly organized. I managed to grab a sip at mile 2, but at mile 3 they didn't have any ready. No water at mile 4 and then I finally walked a few paces to gulp down a few ounces at mile 5.
I'm glad I did it, but man did that last half a mile or so hurt!
Update: I just saw the official results. I placed 78th out of 329 and was 6th in my age group (30-34 year old males). Interestingly enough, I would have placed lower if I was a year older!
Good job.
