Garden of the Gods 10 mile 2011

Results June 12, 2011

Garden 10 miler! 2 seconds faster than last year, actually :-) 1:17:52. I thought for sure my fitness was worse than last year. I think I just pushed myself harder. That's with a 10min last mile and a 9min penultimate mile since my stomach was very close to rebelling on me and I barely held it in until the finish line (average pace 7:47). Somehow I still negative splitted by 30 sec. I guess that makes sense with more downhill in the 2nd half. I like downhill. I was hot. My stomach was my limiting factor here in the last 2 miles. That seems to happen frequently, especially when I'm a little out of shape. I'm jealous of all the ironstomachs out there. The only food in the 12 hours before the race was gatorade and water and a gu.

187/1564 OA, 29/691 F, 8/41 F20-24 (but got 4th award since 4 were top 10). One of my last races as a 20-24.
