Strider's Winter 5K Race Report
Learned some good lessons today!
- Make sure you get up when your alarm goes off.
- Make sure you have gas in the car.
- Make sure you know how to get to the starting line.
20 minutes after my alarm went off my wife asks "Aren't you racing today?" So I rushed to get out the door. Had to stop for gas. I almost remembered how to get to the starting line. After getting lost, I ended up arriving in the parking lot in time to hear "5-4-3-2-1-GO!", but this was as I opened my car door without my timing chip or race number on. I stuffed them into my pocket and saw everyone pass by me as I grabbed my gloves and water bottle and ran BACK to the starting line. The course is challenging for a road 5K. Mostly uphill for the first 2 miles. My time was 35:21. My Garmin time was 33:48. I started the Garmin at the starting line.
The run felt good. Legs, lungs, knees and feet all cooperated. My first race for 2010 is now in the books. Strider's Winter 10K in two weeks.
Ran seven more later in the day to keep my Saturday miles 10 minimum.

| Eleven mile trail run throuh the snow, mud, ice, puddles, even a couple stream crossings. Exilerating! A lot of slipping and slidding, but it sure beats the heck out of trudging on the treadmill. |

Striders Winter 10K - Cold, but beautiful, morning. Prefect running weather. This 10K has hills, lots of them. There were a few runners with a slightly faster pace than was comfortable and I tried to stay up with them. The last 1/2 mile I picked it up and could hear someone right on my heels, so it was a sprint to the end. I felt I ran well on a challenging course. Beat my 10K PR by 2 minutes and 11 seconds. All body parts cooperated.
Easy 2 mile warm-up and 2 mile cool down to meet my 10 mile minimum Saturday goal. |

Couldn't face the treadmill. Ran the neighborhood roads in the dark. Cold, but felt good. |

| Middle daughter's wedding shower. Had to get out of the house. Seven miles South on the canal road, then did 3.3 miles of hill training. Up Perry Canyon following the 3 mile creek trail, then to the upper bench road and on to the summit with the old power pole, next mountain North of Grizzly Peak. 2200 feet of elevation gain in a mile, no trail, just going up the South face. Felt great, the first time I went up this face I could hardly go three steps without stopping, now I can power up to the top with few stops. | | Comments(1) |
