I went out early this morning and did 6.5 with Danielle. I felt sick, im not sure if it was because of the warmer temps or what.  It was nice not having hurricane gusts blow me over.

It was bitter cold this morning and pretty windy. I started out more conservative than last year but the tail wind and slight downhill gave me a push.  There are some nasty steep pieces of hill in this race one right after mile 3 and one at 7 and one at 10.  I had an extremely tough time with the wind. It was slowing me to a 6:15 pace. Once I had the tail wind to my back I felt better. Mile 11 was my gut check though. I had a hard time from there on as my legs tightened up. I pushed as hard as I could to get it done though. I had a runner trailing me and I noticed he gained on me on the up hill stretches and wind which made me nervous. It was a good check on my progress for the year which im a bit behind but I will try getting back to it hard. I have some issues with my periformis that got worked on after the race and I wished I had more time because it felt good and then when he was done, it tightened back up.   I saw a lot of friends and family at the race and its put on very well by Lisa Dudley and Riverton City.  They gave out a really cool wagon wheel trophy that is massive!  I love it though. I also got a money gift card for first.  The course is a good gut check for those that arent used to any downhill.
