It was a day of setting records. Zach Emerson won the race by almost a minute with a new course record of 16:58 plus James Stafford and Josh Costa ran personal records for 5K. James just barely held off Josh to grab 3rd at the finish in 17:54. This was a good way to start a new season on our home course. Our team finished 3rd and we were happy with that.
Our course is super flat. Not even one hill just bumps. It is exactly 5,000m and starts at Grimes field in down town Hillsboro. It is an out and back course on the old train tracks, now just trails, and runs along the beautiful Contoocook River banks. It is very flat and gives you a chance to run some extremly fast 5k times. |
