Ran the Santa Stampede 10k in Littleton today. Was hoping for a much better outcome but my legs are just toast. I felt great the first half, went through 3 miles in 17:30 and 5k in under 18:10, but the wheels came completely off on the way home, going into the wind, but that doesn't account for just how slow I ended up going, averaged something like 6:20-6:30 for the last 5k, just could not get my legs moving, ended just a smidge under 38:00 for the 10k, although I think the course might have been a touch short, either way, I have never been more ready for a break, my legs are just overcooked!
