Ran the opening mile leg for a 4-mile relay/race event for a charity. Our team changed a lot in the past week, losing our only other guy in 5:00 shape and he got replaced by an 8-minute miler unbeknown to me... so I wanted to go first leg instead of the last leg as originally planned, so I'd be able to have runners around me to run against. I started out fast and just tried to hold on. It was over in a flash and the baton was handed off. Proud of my run today, as I've never raced a mile before in a competition. The run was a lot of fun, and man that is a fast race. It's fun to try something new. Estimated splits: 1st quarter: 1:06 2nd quarter: 1:10 3rd quarter: 1:13 4th quarter: 1:09 |
