Race: Deseret News 10K (6.2 Miles) 01:09:17, Place overall: 1619, Place in age division: 136
Total Distance
6.20

Well, the first 3 miles were fine, I was just a bit tired.  Ran with Maclean until he started rushing ahead with Anders.  Ran into Alessandro, kept with him for a long while.

But somewhere after the halfway point, I started feeling sick to my stomach.  Ran as much as I could, but had to slow to prevent barfing or the like.  Alessandro got past me about 5 blocks out from the finish and I didn't see him again.

I feel like I could have done better if I just hadn't felt sick in the middle of it, but it was good for my first race (I think)!

Edit:

Wow, I was 2nd to last of my age group... thats a little discouraging...

Though, technically, I beat Alessandro (he lost his chip)!

Sorry about feeling sick, you would think the Slurpee run would have prepared you!!! Darn stomach, though, it happens sometimes. The next one will be better.

Travis good job today. One step at a time, I continue to see improvements every week. Running is setting your own goals and going after them. "The first and best victor must conquer self."
