624D126 RACE 10K Run for Warriors

3rd Annual Sunset Run For The Warriors®

I ran this 10K race with Doug T, Tim W and Joelle.  Doug did a fantastic job as his goal was to run @ 10:00/mile pace and he got a time of 1:01:36 (or something close to that).  Given there was 289 feet of vertical for the course, that is an excellent result.  He did better than 10:00/mile pace!!!

Joelle and I run about the last mile together and cross the finish line together - or she comes in 3 seconds ahead of me.  She placed 79th and I place 80 from wall chart results.    

I will have to check the Official results later regarding all our times. 

I forgot to stop my watch.  The Garmin result reads 8:45/mile avg overall.  The race wall posting has 8:44/mile overall. 

4th mile split has the time being 8:57 and the moving time being 8:12.  So a 45 second urine break.  Also took a few walk breaks.  Really was not in this race to race at 10K race pace…well I guess I was looking for 8:00/mile with 7:43/mile being the ultimate goal (VDOT 42) but I noticed where I was at Mile 1 with regard to pace and I knew it was not going to happen tonight…hence the walking, urine break, chilling at points.  

Excuses: Well I don’t tend to have excuses…and am pretty accepting of inferior results usually with my identifying where I went wrong from a training perspective (slacking, etc.) and what I need to do to get back on track.  But this race: well I have a few excuses.  I have been sick all week with a cold and am not over that yet.  So sick that I have not run for a week.  And lower back is bothering me still.  AND…was just running for the sake of running…not in race mode really.  So all and all, a decent result. 

HOW WILL I DO DURING THE LABOR DAY 20 K RACE ON 9/3/12?  

Hey I am not sure.  But I hope to be RACING that day!  

By the way, this was my first 10K race.  And it cost $15.00 with that being race day registration cost (would have been $10.00 if signed up earlier - held off because I was not sure if I was going to run the race).  This is what Veterans pay!  So a timed 10K race, a race shirt and food post race…for $15.00…not a bad deal.

Oh - Marc A also ran this race.  He came in at around 50 minutes I think.  And maybe an 8:04/mile pace or something.  So he may have been a little off tonight as well as I think his best 10K time is 7:15/mile pace.

The best races: the ones where people you know are running them with you!

Put 54:13 as Race time for this entry...Once official results in: will amend accordingly.

I was able to get a quick 4 miles done at 8:56/mile and could not do the usual 6.5 miles as I had to pick Christian up from football practice.  Time constraints.

A progressive run of 8 miles with each mile being 10 seconds faster than the previous mile.  First split at 10:00/mile.  Last split at 8:47/mile.  Avg pace is 9:21/mile.  Easy miles.  

Considering what my strategy will be for the upcoming NHRR 20K on Labor Day. 

Anyone out there have any running shoe suggestions for Long Distance runners.
