Reindeer Run 5K

Eric • 2nd Dec 2006 • Fitness

This morning was the Reindeer Run 5K. It was in the low-30′s with high winds, and a few flakes to start things off. Not terrible weather, but not like the Turkey Trot, either.

I was happy with my time, officially 25:40. My mile times were 8:03, 7:56, 8:21. The times were like this because of the elevation changes… flat for the first mile, drop 60 feet in the second mile, up 115 to a peak in mile 3, then down 20 feet to the finish.

I finished 5 / 10 in my group; I’m not sure about the overall, yet, but with only 400 runners, I may be in the first half. My foot was hurting a bit after, but I think (I hope) I’ll be able to get back to the gym on Monday. I haven’t been there since November 6th – partially planned to be away while training for the Turkey Trot, partially not planned as I’ve been working a lot.
