Great to be back on the Causeway for the Midnight Run again.  The plan going in was to run both the 5K and 10K at slightly negative split efforts.  Mostly worked out, but the return trip on both races was into pretty good winds, so it was more like negative split for first half and then try to hold on coming back in.  Second place oldish guy to Bret was a nice surprise looking at results this morning - pretty cool (we'll just ignore the fact that it was because all the fast old dudes ran the 10K).  In the 10K I felt way too comfy heading out at 7:30, 7:24, 7:22, and then lost focus at the turnaround and let the pace balloon up over8:00 for a mile and a half or so.  I finished a bit stronger with a 7:34 6th mile and sub-7 pace for the last 0.2 for 68th overall and 8th place 45-49 age group.  Total for the evening was right at ten miles including a bit of warmup and cooldown.

Nice job Doug and pretty studly running the 5k and 10k. You probably had a couple beers in between right?

You bet - couple beers and a bratwurst! Thanks

Good running - and workout Doug. Nice to see a couple of the old Dunedin XC crew like us still showing up for the traditional midnight race on the 4th.
