The 2010 Race Season

Well the 2010 Race Season is officially underway for me! I have just returned to Big Bear Lake after 3 weeks back east where I ran two races.

May 2 - Pittsburgh Half Marathon - 147th overall. 1:34 at 7:13 per mile.

and

May 8 - Throo the Zoo 5k - 23rd overall. 18:31 at 5:57 per mile.

I was very happy with both efforts and the results they yielded. Going into Pittsburgh I had 2 goals, to come in under 1:40 and to run a negative split. I was able to accomplish both which was very surprising considering I usually tank towards the end of the race. I guess all the work i've been doing on closing speed is paying off. I was looking to run under 20 minutes at the Zoo 5K and was very happy when I crossed the line well in front of that time!

Up next...

June 20 - Big Bear Shootout Mt. Bike Race
July 11 - Big Bear Paddlefest Kayak Race
July 18 - Ironman Racine 70.3 Triathlon
August 1 - Xterra Snow Valley Off-Road Triathlon
September 11 - Endure the Bear Trail Run
