Race: Bridal Veil 10K (6.2 Miles) 00:01:16


 Pretty nice race: Well, what race in any canyon along the Wasatch is not nice?

On the negative side: 1st half is uphill, upwind and into the sun. 9AM seems like a late start time. My mile times were approximately:

12:30, 12:30, 13, 12, 12:30, 12:30. Race time I clocked was 1:16

Results are supposed to be online somewhere later on.

 I'm happy with the time. It's a PR for a 10K (I had a 1:14 in cedar city last year but there was a clock malfunction) It's not a fast course and I was battling a sore hip.

I was a little disappointed that my downhill time was not much faster it was only slighty faster than the uphill time. I just didn't have the strength. Maddening.

I saw Sasha there and was going to thank him for this cool blog site but after I picked up my T-shirt he was gone and I couldn't find him. Oh well.

Great job, Hildisvini! A PR is always nice. You seem to have a very positive attitude--I don't care how pretty the scenery is, if it is uphill and into the wind and the sun for very long, I am pretty sure I wouldn't be talking about what a great course it was. He he. Keep up the great work and good luck with your hip!

Not what you were planning but those are really consistent times. That's great! And you can't complain if it is a PR. Just imagine what you could do on a "fast" course!

Nice PR - 200 commando points for the PR. It seems your goals are very much within reach. Save those commando points for when you really need them.

Nice job on the 10K. I did one Saturday as well and got a PR. Keep up the good work!

Way to run and get your PR. I did that one last year, wanted to do it again this year but my kid had a Junior Olympics program for other sports. Its a nice course running through the trees along the river to the waterfalls. Keep up that running effort
