~3.1 miles @ ~8.0 min/mi

The MCRRC 5k cross-country race at Gaithersburg High School is intense in Friday evening's heat and humidity on a course with small rolling hills. I manage to come in (barely!) under 25 minutes. GPS mile splits are 7:51 + 8:22 + 8:05 + 24 seconds for final fraction, which it thought was 0.07 miles or so. The official result puts me in 78th place of 132 men (and behind 16 out of 79 women), 5th of 16 in my 55-59 year male age group, at a total time of 24:50.
