Deseret News 10k. First few downhill miles were conservative for this course: 5:09/5:13/5:35. I thought this would help me to have something in the tank for the Alp d' 900 South at the end of the race, but it didn't. I was 5:32/5:40 for 4 &5, and then 7:12 for the final 1.2. I couldn't kick until I could clearly read the word FINISH right in front of me. I lacked courage today, but still finished with a PR of 34:29. After the race, I ran back to the start with Adam Wende and John Straley. Also had a mile and a half of warm up at the start. |
