Beagle269’s BodyBlog

My official results came in for my Weekend race and I am ever impressed with myself.

The internet site shows that I placed 170th out of a total 8900 runners

147th out of 3898 Male runners

30/619 for age group 26-29!  Wheeeewww!  Average pace of 6:21, impressive, but improvable.  Perhaps most runners weren’t too serious and more casual joggers, but still impressive!

I finished in the St. Patricks day run in Seattle this weekend, finishing the 3.49 mile course in 22:09 with a 6:21 mile pace.  I felt like it was a good race, though I could have trained better, I regarded this race as a race to do for fun.  I think there was more than 15,500 people that raced in 3 heats, making it impossible to start fast.  But also a more social type of fun run.  I enjoyed that the raced ran through the Battery Street tunnel (about 3/4 mile long) and across the Alaskan Way Viaduct (both pretty much a closed off freeway)
