Went up to my sisters in Victor/Driggs Id for the 4th. And she found us a nice race in Wilson just outside of Jackson Hole WY. So the temp was great even at 9am. Was a out and back. First half was gradual uphill and close to the turn around got a bit steeper. Was hoping to do 44 mins on this race. And it was my first 10k so PR no matter what. After the uphills and a few small flats. I started slowing down for the 2nd half. Till the last mile which was flat. And maintained a good pace. And felt bad that I had so much left and a good sprint passing 3 people in the last 20 yds or so. Finishing with 45:05 not what I was hoping for. But was a PR so its all good. |
