The Striders Winter Series 10 miler is a tough course. I feel like I was pretty lucky to have taken 3rd place overall today, behind Sariah and Katie. There was a 4 minute gap from the time Katie finished and when I finished. My time wasn't where I wanted it to be, but I also came into this race with sore legs. Every uphill I ran today, my legs were screaming at me, mostly my quads. Sariah told me she felt the same way and after we finished the cool down we both felt like we just got done running 22 miles. I had a hard weekend last week, then a hard workout from Wednesday. So, I'll blame those two things on a not so steller performance today. :) AP for the race 7:06. Splits: 6:38, 6:14, 6:43, 6:47, 7:06 (uphill), 8:25 (uphill), 8:29 (uphill), 6:24, 6:39, 7:18, Not a great finish.
