Endure and persist; this pain will turn to your good. - Ovid

Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us. - Romans 5:1-5

SLC Classic 10k -- my first 10k in Utah at elevation. This is a very challenging course, with a long uphill on Mile 4 that took all wind out of sails. Last mile and a half or so are downhill, so got some momentum back then. This race was a decent effort, and I passed a few people in the last mile, which was around 5:00. ave HR 186

Splits/Ave HR:

5:00/172 -- got out too fast

5:24/193

5:31/187

6:18/189 -- ouch! nasty, long hill!

5:36/186 -- starting to roll again

4:59/192 -- crankin'!

1:12/192 -- approx last quarter

My immediate reaction to this race was slight disappointment, because in college I considered a 32-minute 10k to be BAD. But that was on a track at sea level in better shape. After doing a few more Utah races, I realized that this effort at the Classic was actually a decent performance.
