ATC Cross Country
The course was a double loop around Jim Miller Park with one hill about two thirds of the way around. I got off to a good pace and was able to maintain it through the race, although I found the last mile difficult.
It was a great day for running. The rain which had been with us all week had vanished the day before and been replaced with cooler temperatures and a clear blue sky. Even so, the ground was not particularly soggy.
To me, my time seemed slow, 23:25, but I have been training for the marathon and have been upping my mileage and the number of days of the week that I am running. My focus right now is definitely not racing, but it was a great way to kick off the weekend.
