Another State Record at Jenks

I started out way too fast (5:38 first mile). I never got into a comfortable rythm.The hills, a strong south wind, no competitors to share the agony, and poor pacing kicked my ass. I finished 2nd and probably could have won if I had not stopped 4 times during the race. I payed the price for unwise racing.I still managed to break the old record of 1:21.25 by 3 minutes and 3 seconds.

1:18 .22 is not what I had in mind but in 2 weeks I can set the record straight (weather permitting) and run a 1:17 or under at the Route 66 Half Marathon.
Cara, Tom and Will were there to support. It was a beautiful day to share with them.
