My official finish time for the New Albany Walking Classic is 3:22 on the nose! How often does your watch match the official time!

According to the race web site, I averaged 32:31, which is perfect for a 10K! In reality, according to one of those online pace calculators, I averaged a 15:25 mile.

Not as fast as I wanted to be, but I’ve also been slower. I’m OK with it.

It seems that whether an entrant really enjoyed this race has to do with the type of walker someone is. The faster walkers who lined up right on the starting line or near the start seemed to like it. The walkers way in the back who are more casual also liked the race.

It was those of us who took more than 3 hours for the half who seemed to be disappointed.
