Bix7 2009

Bix7 Run in Davenport. Got up early, left the hotel about 6:15, got downtown and parked about 6:30. Walked to the starting area, stretched for a bit, went to the bathroom a few times, then got in the corral . Race started a bit after 8am, and we headed up the hill. I ran up the whole hill and then after the turn things got really tight on the course. I took a few walk breaks on the other hills, made it to the turn around, headed back, coasted back down the big hill, and then turned the corner to the finish line. Overall a good run, splits of 10:28, 9:39, 10:34, 10:28, 10:14, 9:36, 8:18 and then a 8:28 pace for the final .06 miles, 1:09:42 overall for a 9:57 pace, average heart rate of 162. Sun was out, and it felt warmer than the temperature was with it being in the low 70s. Fun run, hit Amanas for lunch afterwards, of course.
