Day 722 Fun in San Diego

20:38. 5th age group and 38th OA (3300+). Felt a "bit" off and have blood tests pending to see if I was a little anemic. New move to Mexico has changed my diet and I might be a touch low on the iron intake.

1:35.35 in the half-marathon. Very happy with this effort even if I am 10 seconds slower a mile than I was in training. I ran a smart race (negative splits) and finished the final two mile sub 6:30. This result puts me in the top 5% of my age group.…

This result puts me in the top 5% of my age group. My 5K times put me in top 3%. My goal is to get in the top three percent over all the distances I compete.

A little slow on my finish times. Had some blood drawn and will be curious to see my iron and red blood cell status. I felt a little anemic particularly in the 5K (hard to know how much blood the hookworms are taking with my restored bacterial lawn). Still solid efforts and will try again in a couple weeks in Seattle.
