Jogged up the rode with KiloDave to and watered a tree.

Comments:

Ready, set, go run uphill! Right off the bat the hill comes at you nice and steep. My heart rate went above 90% immediately and stayed there.

This was the second hardest 10K race that I have ever done (the first hardest is the Vail 10K at 10,000 feet or perhaps the TEVA Trail Running Championship course at Vail), it makes the Boulder Bolder course look feel like a downhill course.

What would you do differently?:

Not much... I ran is hard as I could today.

Post race

Warm down:

Chilled (literally - it was cold) and waited for the results and the awards ceremony.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

The hills, the cold, the ice on trail but mostly having raced a 5K the night before.

Event comments:

I enjoyed racing this. It was fun to hang out with Dave and Meg after the race and I am pleased with my back to back AG wins with my 5K on NYE and thi 10K on New years day.

Age Group:	1/69
Overall:	9/310
Performance:	Good
AVG HR 166 MAX HR 173 My Polar recorded the ascent at a bit over 600 feet. I think it was more!
Course:	Hilly and challenging. It's mostly uphill on the way out, and mostly downhill on the way back. The 10K course is about 4+ miles on paved roads and about 2 miles on dirt trails. The first mile is mostly uphill. Then it is rolling/level for a few miles. The last 1 1/2 miles are mostly downhill. The 10K course offers some panoramic vistas of the Colorado Springs area and the Front Range mountains.
Keeping cool	Good	Drinking	Not enough
