Sat- Cigs Race
We arrived at the Cigs 4 Mile Race headquarters at about 8 am and picked up our race packets. Temp was around 20 F with a strong west wind so I opted to wear the tights. At about 8:20, we took 2 laps around the course for approximately a 2.8 mile warm up which took about 13 min per lap. The course was 1 complete time around the block, then the second time we cut through on another street, and the final time went completely around again.
The race started at 9 am and I would guess there were around 40 runners. We started and pulled ahead in the lead at what felt like a really fast pace. It was difficult to see my watch since my sleeve from my jacket kept getting in the way. I hit the first mile at 5:56, 2nd mile in 5:54, and I’m not sure on the 3rd and 4th mile since I didn’t get my splits. There was some wind on part of the course that really slowed me down when I was running west, but I still felt strong. I stayed in the lead the entire race and finished in 25:12 with an average 6:18/mi pace. This breaks my 2005, 4 mile PR by 4 seconds.
I won the overall award which was a $50 check, first place (rec’d a Show-Me State Games medal) in my age group of 36 – 40, and 1st place in my age group for non-smoker 36 – 40 (received a nail in the coffin stained glass sun catcher). Hugh placed 2nd in his age group 46 - 50 with a time of 30:40.
