Charlottesville 10-Miler

Found on the finish line video. Sat March 23rd, my 12th Charlottesville 10-Miler & my 60th 10-mile race, but not my slowest. Chip time 1:40:38, 10:04 pace. 7th of 9 in M70-74. Rain heavy at first, diminishing to drizzle at the finish. 44°F, 7°C, Wind NNE 4mph, Activity Feel 35°F, 2°C. I was 97th of 166 men over 50 but 34th in age ranking.

Dahlgren Trail ½-Marathon

Above, David Marks and me stumbling into the finish. Below, Allen Vaughan and Stephen Fisher were both slower than me this day. Together we comprised the entire men’s over 70 category.

This was my 23rd & slowest ½-mara, (my 12th time on this course). I was 33rd of 38 men over 50, and 96th of 108 men. I blame painfully tight calves during the final third of the race. Windy, mostly sunny, 36°F, 18°C, Humidity 82%, Wind NW 7mph, UV 1, AT 33°F, Activity Feel 28°F.
