The hard training paid off. I was hoping for a 1 hour 10 minute finish time and I finished in 1 hour 9 minutes 16 seconds official time. It took 1 minute 24 seconds to reach the start line so by my watch I finished START to FINISH 1 hour 7 minutes 52 seconds (A 13:34 mile pace).
What speed is expected of a 75 year old race walker is my next question. I am looking forward to racewalk Mattapoisett next July 4th 2009 if my body holds out. Meanwhile I am going back to body building and racewalk track work to increase my speed. I still have in my mind 12 minute miles.
