2009 Monster Dash - 10 miles

Thanks Team Ortho, overall good event management as always... (some nitpicks, but nothing major.)

So this morning it was 35 degrees F (2.2 degrees C) with a nice brisk wind coming off Lake Harriet. But only partly cloudy, so some nice sun poking through.

First 5 miles I was able to avg a 12 min/mile pace. Yes slow, but I was woefully unprepared, so I was happy. Ran for the first 17 minutes or so, then did some walking, but mostly running.
Second 5 mile my legs fell apart as planned (yes, planned, cough.) So more walking, poor running, evil hills. :-)

Overall satisfied... I didn't make my sub 2 hour goal, but I finished.
