Notes:
\nI'm extremely pleased with the outcome of this race; obviously because I PR'd. \ud83d\ude42 The weather was actually perfect (not too cold or warm, and just enough sun) and the course was somewhat easy-to-challenging (mainly because of two hills). For the first time, I set my Garmin on a pace of 10:00 minutes\/mile…and I almost met that mark, averaging at 10:20 minutes\/mile. I think the biggest motivation for me was that it was just a short race, and I happened to run with some awesome Orange County Sherrif's Trainees and a small pack of Marines (I think they were Marines). Their cadence song kept me going, but I had to break off when climbing one of the hills. Props to them for keeping me at a constant pace (up to 2.4 miles into the run anyway). I realized later that their pace was a whopping 8:00 min\/mile! \ud83d\ude2e Keep in mind, that's while 'singing' and taking turns carrying the American flag. Cheers to them!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
