Official time 39:59 realistic time 35:00. I started with the ten minute mile group and it took forever to get to the starting line and even then I had to pass people walking, walking with umbrellas, wearing their work clothes, etc... So it took me a while before I got my grove on. So if I assume my second mile time was a more realistic time for my first mile as well, I drop about five minutes. The rain started about five minutes before the race started at 7pm and stopped right about 7:45pm. Perfect race weather... yeah right! It was nice that it was cool, but with the rain I was a bit cold, especially after I finished running. Another nice touch was the rank smell of horse manure for the final .5 miles. One of my tp coworkers also ran, but I think he finished at least ten minutes before me. It was fun to see all the other companies' t-shirts and who all were there. Google of course had one of the nicer shirts (for running) and Coach had one of the more fashionable.
