Turkey Trot 2008
posted about 1 year ago
Had a great time with son, daughter-in-law, and grandson at the annual Austin Turkey Trot. This is my one "race" per year and I finished 17 out of 66 in the 55-59 group, 804 out of 2798 runners. If I was 70 I would have won the 70 and above group with a time of 41:17 for 5 miles. Did manage to beat the Governor of Texas Rick Perry by 22 seconds!
Basically ran the entire 5 miles at a heart rate of 160. No muscle tweaks, or knee/hip issues....just a clean fast fun race. Pre-run: 2 hours before start had a 550 calorie shake 50,25,25, foam rolled 1 1/2 hours start, rested 2 days prior, light run 3 days before, 5 days before long slow paced run (60 minutes).
Next year I'll break 40 minutes.....
