Hot hot hot! Just the way I like it!
This is a small running race near my cabin just before the Watermelon day festival. Its always so fun and I consider it a home race. I did the 10k this year as compared to last year where I did the 5k, and by the way got my 5k PR last year here.
10k starts first and right away I am at an un holdable pace. But what can you do, I'm used to all three sports! 6:13 first mile and slowly declining speed until I run mile six at about a 7:55 pace. Can you tell I don't do this kind of thing?
At the turnaround I start heading back and get Suprised, and see a good friend running towards me that I went to high school with. Did not expect to see him there! Coming back was the struggle, a slog, however you will. I managed a super high heart rate the whole time, like I was going to die.
In the end I won my age group and finally got a placement for the first time in my last 3 races. So that made me feel good. I didn't set a 10K PR but I had fun and my legs are still sore. Just something about only running does me in. 7:10 average pace with my buddy following about 30 seconds in behind me. Mom finished her 5k and cheered me in. Then it was on to eat all the watermelon we could!
Next up, One Last Tri.
