Nate won. Greg the triathlete 2nd. I was 2 minutes faster than Bluffdale but still obviously not in 10K shape. Stayed with some ladies through the first water stop at 1.5, wind on the W side of the hourglass course, broke away at 2 miles, knew I wanted to find someone to slipstream on the second loop. Found a guy and relaxed in his wake, was starting to hurt before this. Stopped and drank on the 2nd waterstop (4.5 miles) then tried to go with the 23 year old, really hurt the last 2 miles. Saw my time was 45 and was disappointed, then waited in the long line for a girl to say I was 42:24--the printer was down but I was elated, that would suit my 20:20 5K from the week before--it's possible that time is off. Or maybe the 45:24 time is off. Ben stopped a little after I finished and he said it said 44. Don't know. Whatever, this week was a high mileage week for me getting back into it, so I shan't be disappointed. Walked a couple miles in the evening with Bec, went out to shop for bikes and bought a TV. Good times. |
