Well 31:32 was my time from last year, and 30:30 was my goal for this year. I stopped the clock at 30:30.8. That’s pretty neat! I knew it was going to be a challenge to knock over a minute off my previous time, but looking at the results and seeing 30:30 was a good feeling! I guess I had a pretty good gauge of where my fitness was at!
Yesterdays race went very smoothly. We started out at a medium pace, and brought the speed up as we climbed closer and closer to the top of the gap. Devon put in a surge when we hit the gravel and Ivan followed. Nish, Kev and I formed our own little group until Nish put in another surge and dropped Kev and I. Kev and I used our distance power to “sprint” to the finish. Overall an awesome morning! Stef did a wicked job organizing the event. Thanks to all those non Academy athletes for coming out and joining in the fun!
