February course records - I have two course records set in February that have survived the test of time. My record for the Fudgesicle series 5k reached 30 years during the month. On 02-09-91 I set the CR of 14:57. That year I won a series race in the 14’s, 15’s 16’s, and 17’s. It was a fun test to see if I had range, and the luck needed to win at each of those times.
My
other existing course record is a bit weaker, but also hit a milestone this
year. My 24:31 at the 1996 Bradford Valentines race reached 25 years.
I’ve only run Bradford 5 times (and one of those was the 6km version). The 1997
race was a tie with Craig Fram. Our plan was to run the loop twice as a hard
workout. The goal was to run 26:00 for the first five and 52:00 for the total
ten miles. We passed the first loop (the race) in 25:54 and slowed a bit in the
second loop running it (not counting the time from the finish to the start) in
another 26:31 for a total of 52:25. That has got to be a course record for the
“Bradford Valentines 10 mile”.
