Hurt so good.

WRC 10K

Met up with Dave around 7 to hit some miles before the race started. We managed 5.50 miles

Race:

Today I had no pace planned I just wanted to go out and push as hard as could and whatever the day brought me thats what it was. As the gun went off I quickly jumped out into the lead and then all of a sudden James came blowing past me so I tucked behind him until we started climbing the first hill. This comes around .25 miles into the race, from there I jumped into the lead and just rolled with it. First mile was 5:20; then the bombing down hill came into play and this is where I got a couple seconds up on Dave I hit 4:52 and then mile 3 was 5:10. Now the last 5K is pretty much all uphill until about mile 6. Really the goal from here was to see if I could maybe get Bryant's course record since I was on pace but for the most part the hills sucked me in and I just held on for dear life. Mile 4 was 5:27; Mile 5 was 6:10 and mile 6 was 6:02. After talking to Dave he gained about 15 seconds or so on the hill portion. For the last .20 I hit 57 seconds.

After I thought my effort was right, and happy with that.  I am going to keep running these races as training and just continue to hit some higher mileage until May. 

Good race but Brutal. OgdenCrew took 1st and 2nd place today. Great race for Dave today, probably best effort of the year.
