20:07, 13th place
May 24, 2009
Barrington, RI
"Wait here, I'll be back in 20 minutes" I said to my kids before I walked to the starting line. Turns out, they know how to read, and pointed out to me that I was late. By the by, yes, someone was watching them while I was running.
This was a fun run through the small town. While it attracted some good runners, I wonder how I would have done with better timing. I decided to leave my watch at home and just run what felt right. I came through the first mile, being told it was 5:40, and the second mile in 12 minutes. There was no way either of these were right, as I felt like I was running 6:30 to 6:40 pace - my usual 5k pace. Turns out I was right and the clock at the end had me right on schedule.
Next time I'm bringing a watch.
