Clyde's 10K - Run10k

The first mile or two I did not feel great. Maybe I need to start warming up first. Miles 3 and 4 (the two big hills) went well - passed a bunch of people who had passed me earlier. Started the kick just as leaving Running Brook - probably should have started earlier.

I think I live in perpetual fear that I am going to run out of gas on these races. Probably because my run endurance has never been very good. I guess I need to get over this and push myself more to see where the boundary is.

Go harder early. Too much left in the tank at the end.

Was really hoping to get below 50 minutes on this, but just missed it. I should still be happy with this; it is a PR by almost 2 minutes, and is 10 minutes faster than I ran Clyde's last year.


A good race, except why was there no clock at the finish line? Weird. I don't wear a watch when I race so I had to wait until results were posted that afternoon to see how I did.

As a bonus this year, the t-shirt was actually really nice (last year's was awful). And I finished early enough to not have to stand in a long line for post-race food. I am always amazed by the ability of people to pound beer and hot pasta at 9am after the race.
