Last Sunday morning was another race, this time it was the Run for Water just down the street from my house. This was the second time I have ran it and it looks like it keeps growing every year. Its not the fastest course with a line up of rolling hills right in the middle of it all. The general design of the course is nice though built of mainly a giant loop, not too many twists and turns which makes for a good way to keep the leaders in view.
500 bucks for th winner which I wasn’t even close but did grab 9th and on the 12th I’ll find out what I won. Hopefully its not a donkey. Actually if it was donkey that would be sweet.
Ended up with a 1:28. Almost my split for the full, had some fun @ 8km with a 2-3 minute set back when a gel went down the wrong tube. Was on pace for a 38-39 10k, ended up with 42.00. Whoops! Feel pretty happy with the time, no tapper and was felling the 3 hours of riding and short run from Saturday. Got my eyes on Oliver this week-end and the Vancouver Scotia half on the 27th. Thinking I might do a mini tapper to get my time down where I think it could be for the 27th.
Just packing up for Oliver half iron and heading out Friday night.
