29th - Horse Butte 10 miler
This is the first race of the season in Bend and it as a reputation for being lousy weather. Last year it was 30 degrees and snowing and I had just started running and killed myself with a 1:18:30. This year, no snow but plenty of wind. By mile 3 as we were heading up to the Plateau it was picking up and from miles 5-8 we were looking at 20-30 knot winds in our face. Needless to say it was a bit frustrating but I just pushed on and stayed on track for my splits prescribed by Coach Andy. Below is what I was suppose to run and what I did run for 2 mile splits.
2 mi 1350 1353
4 mi 2830 2900
6 mi 4245 4300
8 mi 5630 5600
10 mi 7000 6949
So I hit my splits pretty much, powered through the wind, and PR'd by almost 9 mins. Not a bad day for a race.
