First, let me thank those that did donate. Because of you I was part of the effort to raise money for Moffitt Cancer Center, specifically their on campus stay facilities for patients their families. Collectively we raise 1.94 million dollars and the local sports teams (Lightning, Rays, and Buccaneers) all promised a joint match and "round up" so we ended up with $4 Million dollars. Again, thank you for being a part of that with me. On to the race report.

I had to begin my taper a bit earlier as I began to get a bit of a knee niggle, Patellofemoral pain in the right knee. So the entirety of the week prior was an off week. The day of I woke up to 49 degrees, typical temps that week were in the mid 70s. I double layered the shirt, grabbed some gloves and headed out at 5am to the race start. Traffic was lighter than I expected for the 4500 entrants in the 5k and the 2500 for the 10k. Got goo parking spot right outside Amalie Arena, Lightning home ice, and proceeded to the pre-race shenanigans. Scored some great swag, since I am a "Moffitt Survivor" I got preferable treatment and some premium swag. Was able to put it all in my car well before the race warm up.
I ran with a good co-worker friend of mine. His only goal was to hang with me for as long as he could. He's normally just a hiker so actual running paces haven't yet been seen on his training horizon.

I was shooting for slightly above average for goals. I wanted sub 30 minutes and about middle of the pack as I know real runners show up to this one too. I actually performed better than expected. The adrenaline of passing so many people in the first mile or so, the rush of seeing the bay and sun rise over the water got me pretty amped.

TIME: 28:48

Place: 325/4568

Age Place: 63/427

A sub 30 min isn't that spectacular but considering 7 weeks or so prior I ran a 38:40 5k, I am super happy with shaving 30% off my time.

 

Next race is December and I am actively training for a 25:15 finish as my A goal.
