The John Rogucki Memorial Kensington Challenge-Dominated
I had my second straight top ten finish on Saturday out at Kensington for the John Rogucki Memorial Kensington Challenge. After running a 10K race on 8/30 and finishing tenth in my age group, I completed my first 15K distance race and finished 10th (out of 13) in the Male Clydesdale Division 4. The course was tough, a lot of undulating hills and it really did take its toll on my pace towards the end of the run. My time was 1:29:19 (9:36/mile) and was easily the fastest I have every run that loop. Anyone that has run Kensington knows what I mean about the subtle (and sometimes not so subtle) hills. This was a great tune up run for the half marathon in October. I had to plug out 10 miles anyway this weekend, it was a perfect test for me to see if I could hold my pace. I'm close - the target for Detroit is ~9:33/mile, still a lot of work left in the next two weeks. - Vinnie
