Race Recap: 3rd year running this race….I guess I
should since my company is the main sponsor. In 2008, my time was 49:59, last
year was 45:39, and today 45:06. As long as I am continuing to get better, that’s
the main thing to me. Today it was hot and humid….70’s with 95% humidity. I
really thought I could run a 43:00, but after mile 1 my pace was 6:58 and I
knew that keeping this pace in these conditions was going to be tough….especially
since the hills at mile 3 were coming. Mile 2 was 6:46 but the hills were
coming…mile 3 was 7:01 and mile 4 was brutal….8:02. I felt like I was crawling.
The last 2 miles I regrouped….7:45, 7:21 with a sprint finish. I was looking at
last year’s results and figured I needed a 43:00 to get an age group award.
Well, apparently everyone was slower as I still got 3rd place in my
age group and a nice medal. Gotta love bling! They said it was the biggest
turnout yet for this race so I feel good that I was able to AG at my company’s
race. Oh, BTW….this is a 10K PR for me. It should be this is the only course I
have ever run that is a 10K….as far as I know.
