I placed 15th out of 22 men in the 20-29 age group and 179 out of 277 finishers with a time of 58:29. That’s a pathetic 9:25 pace. I’d hoped to finish under 45:00 if possible and definitely under 50:00. I think the biggest think that hurt me was the heat. It was a humid 80+° morning and there weren’t many water stations.

This morning I ran the Run With HAART 5K in Schenley Park. It was one my favorite races thus far. I love any race that involves trails,but this was especiialy cool because it involved trails that I regularly train on. Like I said, it was freakin’ cold, but not unbearable. The pre-race registration seemed well organized and the race started on time. I finished in 29:15, which gave me a mile pace of 9:26. That’s in between my results for the Run Shadyside and Chamber Classic last year, and I’m pretty happy with it. It’s early in the season and I have plenty of time to improve before the Great Race. I finished 43rd out of 54 males in my age group and 111 out of 175 total participants. After the race, ten-minute massages were available for free. Also, there was a raffle which I put $5 into. There were a lot of very nice gift certificates given out, as well as the 50-50 prize of $30. I won two $5 gift certificates to Subway and a $10 gift certificate to Allegro Hearth Bakery in Squirrel Hill. Due to the frigid weather, only a few people stuck around for the awards ceremony and raffle. Those who did were treated to humerous announcing by one of the organizers, made all the funnier by his ability to be goofy depsite how cold he obviously was. All-in-all, it was a fun race and I’d be happy to run again next year.

The "beer stop" is by a Pittsburgh contingent of Hash House runners. I've availed myself of a small amount in times past. Given that I really don't like beer, (Guiness excepted), it was more of a "I did it because I could" type thing. It's one of the few remnants of those "fun" things that used to happen in the race. It's an echo of the Chunder Run from Australia. You probably don't want to know about that.<br /><br />2. Maybe we need to do something ourselves. I should have. I could have had a great excuse for my time.<br /><br />3. The first injury location is before the water station on Morewood. The second is after the water station on Fifth and before the one on the Blvd. of the Allies. Both are clear of water and cups. The first really is because of the squeeze. The second seems to be because of the uphill. I think people break at the uphill.<br /><br />4. Next year! Of course, if you're up for the Youngstown Peace Race, you can easily break your 1 hr. there. The race is more downhill, less crowded, and tends to be cooler.

Very well done. It was a fun race although much warmer than it usually is. I like to be cold at the beginning of the race and let the running warm me up. <br /><br />Curious note... your website is blocked at work as "Intolerance/Hate Speech or Violence"!!??
