I love this race. The course is tons of fun, is beautiful, and starts and ends less than a mile from my house. I keep trying to talk people into running it and am mostly unsuccessful, but this year Teena and her husband gave it a go. They both did great. Hopefully she will post a report. I'm not sure what to post about my race. I ran smart. I pushed myself and gave it a strong consistent effort without completely devastating myself. I finished faster than last year (last year I did the Slam and was on tired legs) but was 20 minutes slower than my course PR in 2009. I guess maybe middle-age is slowing me down, that and not training as much or as fast. I'm enjoying running, so I'll take the slowing times with a smile. 1- 8:51 2-12:59 3-11:08 4-12:19 5-12:40 6-14:51 7-23:53 8-19:18 9-9:30 10-8:29 11-7:02 12-7:06 13-8:10 14-7:53 15-8:16 16- 7:33 |
