Devil's Chase 6.66 Miler 2019

I ran the Devil's Chase race in Salem this morning. It's an odd distance - 6.66 miles in honor of the Prince of Darkness. The weather was good, about 50 degrees, little wind and most importantly, no rain. I managed to run it more than 2 minutes faster than I did last year. In fact, my time this year is a PR for this course (but then I've only run it 3 times). My goal was to average a sub-8 minute mile pace, which I didn't quite get (8:03 pace in the event), but I'm satisfied with the result. I ran it about the pace I did the Mystic Classic 10k this summer, and the Devil's Chase course is a bit more difficult than the Mystic Classic course.
