I'm finally done my first race! It was 10k and my time was 56:59. My goal was to break an hour which I hadn't really done in training, but hadn't tried that hard. I think I did pretty well.
The course was TOUGH. Also, I read SO much about starting out slow and saving your energy. I thought I did that...tons of people passed me at the beginning. However, I think my fast pace is their slow pace so I was going faster than I thought. I figured it out though, and slowed down. It was the last 3 k that almost killed me! Somehow it all ended up being uphill, especially the last k. Killer, but fun!
I'm so glad I have gotten through the first one...now I can plan for the next race...dreaming of a half....
