I found out I got into this race two days ago. I knew it had the potential to be a fast course, I also knew my training has not been what it should be lately. That being said I hoped to go out fast and if my legs held out to go on to glory. If they did go out at least I would go down shooting. Well I kind of went down shooting, but at least I had a PR and a great time racing down the mountain. If I would have been able to keep training and did not get injured earlier this year it could have been a really good race for me. As it was at least I crossed the finish line standing up and smiling.
miles were as follows:6:31, 6:18, 6:19, 6:24 these miles were steep downhill, I was pushing it but felt pretty good coming down, 6:58, 7:29,7:43, 7:31, 7:39... I could tell from these miles it wasn't going to be my day, but I tried to keep pushing,mile 10 7:45,7:56,7:56, 8:09, last .1 8:00 My legs were pretty much done by the end. It was nice to see my family cheering me on at the finish.
All times are from my garmin. I learned alot this race and my mullet was flowing. I probably had PRs for 5k and 10k also. My watch time was 135:10, official time 135:12
