MOHAWK 5000
Well I did it! With the help of a fast lead pack early then pacing with a familiar competitor (Billy Grona) , I ran a 16:38 to break the existing single age State Record (for a 52 year old) by 12 seconds. An 8 a.m. start helped avoid the heat but the humidity was up. Light winds had no real affect. My splits were good, 3:16,3:18, 3:18,3:21 and 3:22. This is the first National Class time I've run in better than a year. I ran in my old Addidas racing flats which felt lighter and faster than my Brooks. Now it's time to maintain and sharpen just a bit for next months River$ide 5000.
Amy went along reluctantly (early wake-up) and finished 5th in her division with a 26:2?.If she gets motivated she will be awesomer than she already is.

NOTE: My time translated to a 90.12 percentage on the WMA scale! So rather than 'just' a national caliber performance, I can proudly say it was a 'world class' performance. I cannot say that I am officially'back' until I put together consecutive top level performances.
