This was the 3rd leg (15K) of the 30K SLCTC winter series. This was probably the best leg. I paced a slower friend on the way out, then I dropped her and went hard back. I think I made her go a little harder than she wanted to go on the way out, but that's what a pacer is for. The weather could not have been better. I felt great the whole way. I took 15 minutes off my split time on the way back. I was at least 10 or 15 minutes off my PR, but I really enjoyed the run and didn't really suffer at all. Great view of the lake & mtns the whole way, and the course was flat and relatively dry, and passing all the people on the way back was an ego boost. This is a highly recomended training race. |
