Shamrock 8K Race Results

Yesterday, I ran in the shamrock 8K.  This was the longest distance I had run in a race situation, so I'm pretty pleased with my results.  My goal was 50 minutes, but I really wasn't sure if that was realistic.  Plus, I was running with my sister who has only been running for a few weeks now. But....the weather was awesome!  A little cool when we started out, but quickly warmed up (or was that me???).  My sister got about 1.5 miles out and started walking...swooing me ahead.  I ran the whole thing without problem. I stayed at a consistent pace, which I was happy about, and here are my results.... Overall Rank: 2631  out of 4920
Chip Time: 52:46.80 
Race Pace: 10:38   
Gun Time: 56:01.60  
Age Ranking: 142 out of 311  
Gender Ranking: 1201 out of 2866 
Pics are posted in my profile album. OH!  And in the pics are Joe Green from here.  He, too, did really well....just a few seconds behind me.

Congrats on a great race.  5,000 people for an 8K is huge.  It's no wonder that it took you 4 minutes to cross the start line.  In my 5K it took 4 seconds.  I checked.  Way to go.  Nice to see Mean Joe out there.
