Alleged 10K Navy Birthday Fun Run at JBAB

October 12, 2012 (Morning)

Exercise Type: Run

Weather: Warmish, but very windy. At least half the race was into heavy winds

Comments:
Race distance was actually almost 6.6 miles according to my GPS and another guys I ran with. 5K and 10K started at the same spot and split at about mile 2.5. I started in the back and passed people in both races the rest of the way without being passed (except by a guy that I passed - we traded back and forth and he sprinted at the end to beat me. I had no sprint left!). No places were kept. I think about 300 people started with probably more than 200 of them doing the 5K. I imagine that I was in the top 20 of the 10Kers. Entire course was on pavement and was very flat. Very heavy winds. Streaks were mostly comfortable to run in but were awful to walk in afterwards.
My actual 10K time was around 45:16.
