Race: Valen Times 10k (6.2 Miles) 00:40:52, Place overall: 3, Place in age division: 2

9:00 start.  It was breezy and 33 degrees with overcast skys.  my wife and I ran as a team and won the 10k division with a time of 97:28. 

For my part I just tucked in with a couple of guys to stay out of the wind as much as possible until they split off at the 5k mark.  I could see Joe Bell ahead of me until around the 4 mile mark.  The 4th mile was into the wind.  Once I got through that I just hammered down as much as I could. 

6:09, 6:27, 6:58, 7:11, 6:48, 6:26 (0:49)

40:52

 

I was happy with my results.  This is the heaviest I've been in some time.  I just can't seem to get the weight down.
