It's certainly a warm day today. It's 82 degrees at 11:15 but the weather stayed cool enough for the race.
It certainly wasn't my best effort but I blame the hills. It seems that the only difference between the 5k and 10k routes was 3 miles of hills. While the houses were gorgeous on the hillsides, the running wasn't pleasant. You name it, and it probably hurt at one point or another. It's funny to contrast my ability to put everything aside when I'm climbing on the bike but when I'm running, those hills are a big demoralizer.
Finish times aren't posted yet but my Polar data says I finished 6.7 miles in 54:17 which is about an 8:06 min/mile pace. That's about what I expected at that distance since I haven't been running much.
