AM 11 miles Ran 5.25 towards the race from home. The goal was to run the whole way there but Bre and Kim came driving back to me and said they couldn't find the race. So I got in and drove to the start, it was farther north than they had expected and turned around to soon. So I registered and continued to warm up another three-quarters of a mile. So 6 before the start, then 3.16 is what my Garmin reads to the race distance. Followed by a 2 mile cool down. Race went well for no taper. First overall male 18:24, flat course. Finished strong but no one to really test me to see if I would gut it out or back off when challenged, a problem I've been having towards the end of short races. Bre won a nice 18 speed bike in the drawing so I biked it home. Just a quick question... Would it be okay to count those 7 miles in my blog total:-).
PM 16.50 miles pipeline and millcreek canyon road. I was meeting Michelle at burch hollow at 7 but I wanted more mileage so I ran out to rattlesnake gulch and back to burch to meet her. We ran back together out 2.5 miles and back to her car. I decided to add a little more down the road. But there was a big mix up. I told my wife I needed about a half more and she heard meet me down at the four. This is the mouth of the canyon so I had to run all the down to her. Oh well extra mileage. Then a nice dinner with Albert, Malekia, Dennis, Michelle, Zuzanna, Alexander, Bre, Sam and my sweet wife. A good finish to a great Saturday. We are all meeting up on Jeremy Ranch Road for a run tomorrow. |
