Bridge & Back 10k

I ran the Bridge & Back 10k in Salem this morning. This is always a hot race and today was no exception. Up and over the bridge is a trial as there is no cover at all and one bakes on the concrete.

But I was happy with my performance. As usual, I finished just out of the age group awards:

Also as usual, I negative split the race. The joints mostly cooperated, although both my knee and hip were a bit sore at the end. Nothing bad, however.

I generally don't take good race pictures, but hey.... it's a picture
