Utah Summer Games - 10k Race today!!!

Beautiful weather...a little bit chilly at first!!! When the gun went off, everyone ran down the canyon so fast.  At 1 mile mark, there was a guy who yelled out everyone pace, and my pace was 6:47 min/pace.  Alright...I thought to myself...this is so not me.  I don't run this pace ever.  At 3-mile mark, my time was 20:19.  I laughed.  After awhile, I ignored my amazing pace :) My competitiveness started to kick in.  I picked up the pace a little bit trying to pass the lady in front of me.  I could tell that she tried to keep up her pace too.  Unfortunately, I didn't catch up to her in time.  Kind of disappointed.

My finishing time was 44:34, pace 7:10, place 2nd age division.  This is the fastest course I have every seen!!! Will be back next year.
