Race Yato the Playground 10K: 2nd overall to Pat Bragassa in 37:45. Hot and very humid. Ran in front with Pat and Alex for most of race. At 2M Pat was moving further ahead and I knew this was not a PR day, so I settled into a easier pace (~5:50-6:05) for rest of race. Course way long according to everyone's GPS (6.5M) and times!  This course was also a 4 loop course and had a total of 28 90 degree turns which take away some momentum.

1M warmup before race and a 1.1M family fun run at a friends BBQ in the afternoon.
