2017 got a slow start due to illness that lasted from early January
clear into March. By June I was getting back into the swing of it,
though my pace was slower than before. A very busy period at the end
of the year slowed my progress again.
Races in 2017
Shamrock ’n Run 5K Boys and Girls Club, Janesville
March 11, 2017 at 10 am
3.11 mi / 30:00.0 (9:39 pace)
My slowest 5K yet, but I expected this. I was hoping to finish
in 30 minutes, and my official time was 30:00.0 on the dot! Not bad
with a wind chill at 10°F.
Rachel’s Race for Long QT Syndrome (10K) Skelly’s Farm Market, Janesville
October 14, 2017 at 9 am
6.21 mi / 58:03.3 (9:21 pace)
Just a little bit faster than the 5K. Placement was 19th of 29
overall, 13th of 16 among males, and 4th of 4 in age group 50–59.
The highlight of my race was helping a young lady named Megan
finish the race; she placed 3rd in her age group.
