Race: Winter Wonderland 5M Milford (5 Miles) 00:41:12, Place overall: 171, Place in age division: 28

Winter Wonderland 5M Milford

 (1 wu)	6.00	41:12

Mid morning race, low 30's, overcast. 

Splits: 

1) 8:00 
2) 8:03 
3) 8:22 
4) 8:19 
5) 8:28 

I started from the middle of the pack, kept a steady pace, 
some hills on the course.	

I was hoping to keep a 8:00 pace but I slowed down a bit after two miles 
and did not have enough strength to pick up the pace in the later part of
the race.

I ran this race back 2010 in 38:59, so adjusted for age, about the same performance.

However, it is hard to power a 5M race on 20 miles a week, more work to be done in
the months ahead, but it is still early in the season.

The race was very competitive, I came in 28th in my age group.  The winner in my age group
ran a 5:32 pace, so he was in a league of his own.
