Kaylee picked me up early early in the morn and we drove over the course.. which wasn't marked and it took us forever long to figure out.. and then we raced! We were just standing around the starting line and all the sudden someone blew a horn and everyone just ran off so we had some catching up to do. There were a decent amount of hills so i'm counting that as my hilly run for the week. Kaylee and I ran up to the front and we kept a good pace for the next 3 miles and the veiled hat we had to wear bugged the heck out of me so i chucked it at some aid station.. i hope they didn't mind.. The dixie girl ran it too and we're not sure if she knew it was a 10k or not... hopefully she didn't think it was a 5k. Anyways, stuck up with Kaylee and felt fast and pretty good then Kaylee ran off and i attempted to keep the same good pace. Legs started hurting from the runs from this week so i could've done better if i prepared for it better but my body was tired... plus the bride i was running for wasn't even there so it was just a weird race. Happy i got to spend time with Miss Kaylee though!!! She got first by a long shot and some marathoner ladies passed me up on the last mile.. bummer. Ran a cool down later with Kaylee and found out that they don't time things well... It said kaylee got a 40 something but her watch said 38ish.. so i'm not actually sure what my time was. But good experience for my first 10k! I think i liked it... next a marathon? haha.. nah! |
