Am- showed up for day 2 of the tour de run day 2, today was the 10K and the 4.4 mile race. I warmed up 2 miles for the 10K, than had to tart right after leaving the bathroom. Once thr race started I was in position behind Jake and Josh, but I decided I didn't want to be too tired out for the second half and let them slip a little bit, the hill climb for this race was awful, I was hitting about 6:10 average pace up the hill. Once I was. Almost to the top of the hill Bill showed up on his bike and started pacing me, so I started hitting a faster pace, once we got to the mostly flat bike trail part my pace started speeding up back to 5:17 mile pace, I finished in 34:32 according to my watch. After the 10K we went to have lunch, shop a little, and go back to the lake for an ice bath, I got about 1 and a 1/4 miles warm-up for the 4.4 miles. This race started much slower than the other ones and I was glad about it, because my legs weren't feeling very good befor the race. We went out with about a 5:06 first mile than I slowed down a lot because my legs weren't cooperating with me, Bill followed me on his bike again and got me to speed up, which is good. I can't remember exactly what my time was for this race, but my ave. pace was 5:34, so it wasn't fast. At the awards are team ( East high boys) got second overall! So we got a very lovely gift basket, I took third overall, and clayton took 7th for the top 10. Not far behind was chris kearl and dallen, who finished the top in their age group. Pm: very slow 2.1 miles to hot even mileage for the week |
