Run
Comments: They changed the course from last year. Now that the road is finished from hwy 83 to hwy K, their plan was to keep the race within those boundaries, not closing the two main highways and running back and forth past the church/school. Last year there was a big set of hills to climb that were tough. This year was an easier course I think, but not much b/c the one hill we kept going back and forth over was pretty big on the one side. I didn't really like the back and forth and all the 180 degree turns we did. I went out a little too fast, the big hill was a surprise since I hadn't looked at the course prior to the race. I dialed it back some at about mile 3 out of self preservation. It looked like a lot of people were hurting in this run b/c I kept seeing everybody when we'd make the 180's. Managed to finish strong with the help of my daughter cheering me on after she finished the 5k. What would you do differently?: Know the course and pace myself accordingly. Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster: First race of the year, and need to work a little on some stuff but overall pleased with where I'm at. Last updated: 2012-04-01 12:00 AM
