Time: 35:08
Pace: 8:46 min/mi
Comments: Tried a slightly different course today that had an elevation element via the pedestrian bridge over the river. That affected my pacing but the real battle today was the humidity. This was almost exactly the heat and humidity of the half marathon that kicked my ass in March.
Still, I warmed up reasonably quickly and the pace I fell into was much better than I had hoped. I had to work a bit on the last mile due to the slight headwind but I was careful not to pour it on and make this some kind of speed effort. Overall the run went well. The attack of the pollen afterward, not so fun.
