great LLBean 10K--Freeport, ME 6.2 mi 00:56 09:01 pace

oh, I wish it was easier to type on my iPhone. I have SO much to say about this run/race but will keep it short because I'm no good on this little keyboard.
What a thrill and pleasure to run a race from start to finish with my dear friend @Tammy H. This hour went by way too quickly for me. I'm so glad that we were able to spend the rest of the morning after the race together!
We implemented my usual race strategy:start slow then pass everyone in sight. I think we managed to pass people on every single hill and continued passing runners for the final four miles. We did get passed by two guys in the final quarter mile, but we also managed to pass one person before entering the chute and had to sprint to stay ahead of him!
Tammy was super strong on the hills and didn't slow her pace at all, even on the steepest inclines. This was a beautiful course (until the final mile) and the weather was decent--muggy, but not too hot and not sunny at all until the race was over.
Mostly, it was just fabulous to spend the day with Tammy and her husband and I'm so happy that we finally ran a full race together! Can't wait to do it again in November!

    Great that the two of you got to race together. Sounds like a lot of fun, and obviously the right way to attack those up and downs.

    What a fun post and a terrific race ... I looked your results in the PPH yesterday and saw you two finished spot on together and with a strong pace and knew it had to be fun. So glad for you ...
