Real Florida 5k10k in Wekiwa Springs State Park

Cold morning for the Real Florida 5k10k trail run this morning. 51’f at the start and I purposely underdressed. Felt strong throughout the run, even on the rugged uphills. 

Finished first in Senior Masters division (+60) with a 59:32 time with 9:35 mile splits for the 6.3 miles; 22 out of 76 in the 10k. Very happy with the results considering it’s only been 2 weeks since my Ultrarun. Record turnout with 364 runners under sunny skies. 

Friends Dustin Radney (1st Male OA 10k), Ashley Jeanne Samples (2nd OA/1st Female 5k), and Jim Payne (1st Male 60-64) all had fast races.


Sträva tracking showed I climbed 221' and burned 1,037 calories.  Didn't get many photos as I so busy.
