Race: Striders 10k (6.2 Miles) 00:47:42, Place overall: 56, Place in age division: 7
Total Distance
10.50

I ran the Striders 10k today.  Met up with Mike D., Ben, Todd and Sean at Peak Performance.  We ran from there to the Dee Events Center and then ran the 10k.  Ran back to the store after the race.  Total mileage for the day was 10.5.  I really wasn't looking forward to the last mile and a half of the race as I'm very familiar with this road having run it numerous times.  I decided to push the pace a little the first half and hope I had some time built up for the end.  I was at 21 minutes exactly at the 3 mile mark.  I was hopeful at that point that I could break 45.  It wasn't even close.  My miles were as follows:

1. 7:11

2. 6:36

3. 7:12

4. 7:51

5. 8:45

6. 8:43

.2- 1:23

I saw several fastrunningblog shirts and met a couple of fellow bloggers.  This was a good race that emphasized to me that I need to get stronger on the hills.  I hear the 10 miler in two weeks is basically the same route with some additonal hills thrown in.

Dee, great job today, maybe we will get a chance to chat more at one of these races. I think your effort says good things about your coming race year. Breaking 45 would have been a killer today. I am with you on the hill work, you can save so much time if you can get up the hills.

Stay Kool, See you at Moab, B of BS Rools out

Those are killer hills! Good job in-spite of them. However, I would not recommend the same strategy for the 10 miler. Take it easy the first few and save some for the last 3 as you can fly at that point. I do suspect that you can beat your last years Moab time next week. Keep up the good work and keep upping the mileage for Ogden.

Nice to put a face to your name too.

Good job on the race. Sounds like a killer course.
