2018 Taconic RR Predicted Time Race at FDR Park

Last night, for second Wednesday in a row, was in FDR Park for a race!  This one was our club's predicted time 2.5 miler - no technology of any kind allowed.  It was basically the same course we ran last week for the Masters Challenge 5K, but it excluded the loop around the lower parking lot.  Just like last week it was hot and humid :O


I'm not sure what possessed me to "predict" 18 minutes when I signed up for this one last week - a momentary lapse of thought?  My 19:59 finish was a solid 2 minutes off my prediction!  No matter, it was a good time.  And afterwards came the food and drink!


I took a photo of the official results (below), but will add a link when they've been posted on the website. 


Next Taconic race is the Peekskill Brewery Mile on the 19th - don't miss that one :D

2017 Taconic Road Runners Predicted Time Race & Monthly Meeting

Last night, in addition to the regular monthly meeting of the Taconic Road Runners, the second annual Predicted Time Race was run.  No technology, digital or analog, was allowed - which meant I couldn't use Strava to map the 2.5 mile "lower" loop of FDR Park!  That alone made this run fun because most races at FDR don't include this stretch of the park.

The event was also billed for new club members to come out and meet some of the old timers - which, upon reflection, may not have been an actual selling point - haha.  But the great food (+ beer and wine) and socializing afterwards, at the regular meeting - is the best selling point!

I swiped most of these photos from the Taconic website (here are the all of the pictures posted from last night).

And here are the official race results.  I was a whopping 1:20+ off my "predicted" time :O
