Looking back - May 2003

20 years ago (May 2003):  I had a decent month, mixing it up on the roads, Mountains, and even cross-country.  I started the month (05/10) picking up a 3rd place in 37:44 at the Prospect Mountain race (Lake George NY).  The 5.67 mile race climbed “only” 1601’ but the first mile was pretty flat and fast.  A week later I took 6th place at the Exter PTO 5k with a 16:03.  The following weekend (05/24) I took 7th at the Wachusett Mountain race in 26:48. The next day I ran 16:07 at the Trav’s trail run taking fourth place.  I finished the month with the Mt Kearsarge race on 05/31.  My plan was to run 6:00 pace for the first 5 (which was supposed to be “easy”) and then race the last 3.5 as hard as possible.  I took fourth place in 56:33.
