The day has come, and the race has come and gone. I am pleased with how everything panned out. The race started at 7a.m. and the course was not terrible, except for the massive hill at the end of it all. I started off slow and saw a slew of people bust out of the gate in front of me and I told myself not to sweat it and that many would slow down after going out too fast.
Of course I was never in this race to win, I was in it for the consistency of running and training. This morning was good in that I met my expectations of going out of the gate at a normal speed, keeping pace, speeding up later in the race, and recovering from the hill correctly and still maintaining my position in the race.
My time ended up being 32:22 and I felt really strong throughout the whole race and even overtook some people! I was very glad that the rain held off and the wind was actually helpful making the warmness a little more bearable. The most unexpected moment was when they called my name for first place in my age group! So that is pretty cool.
Now it's time to find another race...maybe a 10K this time?
Run on my friends!
