Personal:

Have been active my whole life, but turned my focus to running in 2006 after deciding to run a marathon.  I really enjoy the training aspect and staying healthy, but mileage has been on the decline over the past 3 years due to work commitments, so focus has turned away from races and more on just staying fit enough to still enjoy getting out.  Moved from Utah to Texas in October 2016 with my wife and 3 month old babe.

Decided to drop in on this race, but turns out it was set up more as a training run so there only about 80 people.  The director said I could run for free if I shuttled some people to the start in my jeep, which sounded like a good exchange for letting me use the aid stations.  Anyway, super low key and I was just gonna treat it as a tempo effort since this about a 70 mile week for me, but when the gun went off, a few people went out hammerin and I couldn't help myself.  Splits were all over the place so I won't post them.  I was in 1st after about 1.5 miles in and kept about a 5:50 pace thru the first 4 miles.  After that I began to fade and the last few miles were about 6:20 average...ouch!  Definitely started too fast and a little more of a taper this week would have helped, but I wanted to run hard on fatigued legs, which is what I did.  Ran solo until about 9.25 miles in, then got past and couldn't hold on.  First place finished about 15 seconds ahead of me.  Overall I'm happy with the time considering how much I've been building mileage over the past 4 weeks.

3 warm-up,

10.07 in 1:01:51, avg. 6:08 per mile,

6.06 cool down

Great job. You're looking great for TOU and today was a good indicator that you're going to kill it in 3 weeks.
