DES NEWS! I was stoked for this race all summer. Love local road races. The goal going into this was just sub 32 minutes. Warmed up with Josh, about 2 miles with strides and drills. Then the race starts, and I settle right behind Nico and Josh and the other BYU guys. Ran with Colton Riemann for a sec, he pulled away quite early, thought I'd go with him but I've never raced a 10k before so I was a little more conservative than I should've been. No watch, no mile splits. Ran in no man's land for a while, then a BYU guy came upon my shoulder, and I raced with him til the finish. He gave me two mile splits, 5:03 and 5:15. Then we caught Travis Feeny, future teammate. Ran with him for a while, then he outkicked me to the finish by a second. Finished in 31:57, tasty lil PR and achieved my goal. Threw up right at the line lol. Cooled down after with Travis. Great race today, Josh was second in 29:33! That's what he wanted too so good stuff from both of us today. Start to a good vacation with Josh, uo next is summiting timp, then glass animals concert on Wednesday. |
