 Posted: 08/14/05 - 11:26 Post subject: Perfect 10 Miler - RR
This race was held in Lyndhurst Ohio to benefit the local schools. It was 72 degs and very humid when I got there about 6:15 a.m. (7:30 race start). Got my bag of stuff which included a very nice Mizuno coolmax type shirt and went out to do the usual pre-race warm up ritual. Met up with Roughausen for a bit prior to the race.
Race course is mildly hilly local roads without too many turns - really a nice course. Race started with some guy hollering out: ready! set! go!.
Splits:
6:56 6:52 7:31 7:23 7:10 7:53 7:14 6:51 7:16 7:10 for a 1:12:20 (7:14 pace)
Not particularly thrilled with my time, I had hoped to be close to 1:10:00 but I'll take it. I had too much gas left in the tank at the end so I know it could've been better. I have no excuse for miles 3 & 6, I must of went to sleep at the wheel.
10th place out of 38 in AG.
The best part is I won a FREE pair of Saucony shoes! They called my name as a prize winner after the race for only the second time in my life. It's a damn good thing Roughausen was paying attention because Captain Comatose here wasn't and would've totally missed them calling out my number if she hadn't of told me! Thank you Sara!!!!!!

7:14 over 10 miles is pretty fantastic if you ask me... 
Good racin' Rob, you must be feeling pretty good about your fall marathon at this point.

I've never been to a race that gave out such good stuff. They gave away free entry into the Akron Marathon a couple of times also.
