Because I needed a mental break today, I tabulated the race results for the 2 races we've done so far in our 3 bridge race series. There are a possible 25 women in my age bracket and based on what the organizers of race 3 posted on facebook, a good chance most of them are registered for race 3.
So far I'm sitting 5th! DH crunched some more numbers and "The number 4 girl seems to be deteriorating. She went from 4:20 better to 0:50 behind you The number 3 girl is improving. She went from 0:35 behind you to 5:54 ahead of you. The number 6 girl is also improving. "
Yay for nerdy meets crazy meets running. Must be speedy on Sunday morning!
ETA: for all the other new/slow out there, my training runs are averaging 11:45 min/mile and my race times averaged 10:33 min/mile. Amazing what adrenaline does for you.
