10AM 10K race time, Temp. 35-40'

It was a near perfect day for a winter run.  The only way to make it better would have been to have some sun.  I was a little nervous before the race that my good buddy Tom that has become a great runner would keep up with me and outduel me at the end.  After we got a mile under our belts or racing bibs my confidence in beating Tom started to rise.  I felt good and could tell I was ready to race.  I'm sure that Januarys training where I ran more miles in a month than I ever have helped.  At the half way point Tom was just a few seconds behind me and I was feeling good so I decided to pick up the pace and put some distance between me and him which happened to be my masters competition. See times below.

Mile 1, 6:18   Mile 2, 6:07   Mile 3, 6:21,   1st 5k (19:25)

Mile 4, 5:45   Mile 5, 5:59,   Mile 6, 5:55    2nd 5k (18:20)

Last 0.2, 1:20 (6:07 avg.)

Mile avg. - 6:04

The last mile was difficult so I know that I raced hard. 

After Tom & I ran a couple of miles to cool down.  I took overall masters and Tom took 2nd.

Terry, nice race, congradulations on the Master's win, 200 commando points. By the way, when I seen you and Tom coming back, it seemed that you had gapped Tom by a good 20 seconds. It is going to be fun to watch you and Tom deul at these races, you both have the eye of the tiger.

Stay Cool, race hard, B of BS Rools out

Great race Terry! OldBean still has some juice for sure! Darn all those miles you've run recently, I didn't have a prayer of hanging with you today on those crazy sub-6 miles you did the last half. But it was great to be able to keep close the 1st half of the race. If I have to be #2 in the Masters there is nobody else I'd rather have be #1.

Way to go Terry! You are as hot as ever! It was fun to see you and Tom, (and all the other bloggers there), race today! Congrats on the master's win!

From Lybi on Sat, Feb 09, 2008 at 22:49:39

Oh...my...gosh. I can't believe how much you sped up the second half. Wow! Great race! It is so awesome that you and Tom dominated the overall masters. You did the blog proud!

From James on Sat, Feb 09, 2008 at 23:28:39

Good job on the masters win. You almost beat me!

From jtshad on Mon, Feb 11, 2008 at 10:20:13

Nice time and good job on the Master's win!

From Cal on Mon, Feb 11, 2008 at 10:27:04

Great job Terry. I knew that your Quality X would appear once you were out on the race course. Your 4th mile was pretty impressive!

From Paul T on Mon, Feb 11, 2008 at 13:00:21

Awesome run, Terry! It looks like Tom still has a little farther to go to catch you, but at the rate that he's closed the gap, I wouldn't rest on my laurels if I were you. It's great to see you both running so well. As WBR captain, it's very comforting to know that the two of you can pick up the slack if some of the other team members (due to injury, etc.) don't end up in as good of shape in June as they would like to be. Stay healthy!

Are the mile splits from the GPS or from the mile markers? It sounds odd that running so well in the last mile 1:20 was all you had for the kick.
