Pre-race routine:

Woke up and had bagel, coffee and juice. I was glad to see that it was sunny and not very windy, as Friday had been windy and cold.
Event warmup:

Looked for the start line. By the time we found it and found a washroom, it was time to start.

Comments:

A competitive and small race. I was really happy with my run and ran the last mile in under 9 minutes. I'm a bit bummed by my age group ranking but I couldn't have done anything else given that this was exactly where I was in my training.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing!
Post race
Warm down:

Glad to see my family at the finish line.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Not training beyond this distance yet.

Event comments:

This is my first 10 mile 'race' in 13 years. I used to do the St. Albert 10 Miler during my marathon training back in 1994-97 and of course I was younger & better trained: used to do it in under 90 minutes. This year, it was my first 10 miles of the year. I ran as well as I could!

Performance: Good
Course: fast downhill to 5 mile turnaround (down in the beautiful river valley) then uphill on the way back, including a hill at about 6 to 7 miles. After that it was slightly uphill all the way back. A beautiful run.
