7 Mile Run The Flood in Cedar Rapids

7 mile "Run The Flood" in Cedar Rapids. Cool morning, had been raining but there was no rain for the race. I was wanting to run it under an hour, but between the speed workout Thursday evening, and a few drinks Friday, and then over hydrating Saturday morning and having to go to the bathroom during mile 2, it just wasn't going to happen. Started a bit slow, and never could kick it in. Overall the race felt good though. 7 miles in 1:02:03 for a 8:52 pace, splits of 9:07, 9:17, 8:56, 8:46, 8:34, 8:49 and a 8:31 for the last mile. Didn't wear the heart rate monitor, but didn't push it too hard. 33 out of 46 in my age group, 232 out of 401 of the men, 354 out of 953 overall. Was a fun run.
