RRS 2nd 5 miler.  Felt good, and took off fast.  The chrono mode for my watch did not work, so I just timed it from the HH:MM:SS from the time of day.  Race started at 7 am.  At mile 1, the watch said 7:06, and I couldn't see the seconds, but I read it as 7 minutes by mistake, so the first mile was 6 something.  Kept track of the minutes, and felt good for most of the race but was slower mile 4 to 5.  Was able to pick up the pace somewhat during mile 5 but wished I had had a little more left during the last mile.   Overall, very happy with the race.  Was 3rd or maybe 2nd in grandmasters female, but they listed one very fast runner in both masters and grandmasters category.  If she is counted as masters, then I was 2nd.

 Rode the mountain bike 10 miles with the family on the greenline just before lunchtime.
