Deseret News 10K - 32:01

Warmed up for a few and hit the jackpot with a nice private bathroom over by the Huntsman Cancer building.  Felt decent and with no hip issues - didn't even think about it until just now, so that is a good sign.  Got to the start and just mingled into the crowd about 10 rows back.  I should have pushed up a little bit, but I figured no big deal - in retrospect, I think this made me have a mindset of sitting back a little too much at first costing me a bit because I didn't push hard at the first.  1-4:51 Just worked my way through the crowds of people that should be further back (especially in a chip race).  2-4:53 Still working through a lot of people.  These two miles should have been about 10 seconds faster each, and I don't think that would have cost me in the end either. 3-5:07 Caught Sasha near the end of this mile, but also got caught by the women's winner (the only person that passed me the whole race).  I sat back too much here as well.  Went through 5K in an estimated 15:25.  4-5:12 Felt pretty good here.  Actually I think I felt too good the whole race.  5-5:08 Picked it up a little and passed a couple more people.  6.2-6:51 I missed the 6 mile mark, but doing some math I think I was probably about 5:30'ish and a 1:20'ish finish.  I really sat back too much on this mile and just cruised in to the end.  Finished up the morning by running around the park and back around the course waiting to see and cheer on the marathoners. (Ohana racers 305.75)

Race was okay; I mean I feel okay about it, but I really did sit back too much.  I think I was afraid of really pushing (especially at the first) because I knew that the last 2 miles are harder and I didn't want to be dead.  So I think I could have gotten a bit better (maybe not break it, but more towards my 31:00 PR).  But another race in the books, and that is what I need - races to sharpen up mentally.

On a side note, James had reminded me early this week that it was the 10th anniversary of our first running of this race.  It was when I was still living up in SLC and wasn't running much (if at all) and trained for about a month.  At that race I ran a 38 something.  I was worried because I hadn't ever run over 40 (including my first 10K at 14 when I ran a low 39) and those last couple miles I saw my watch creeping up there - So a big course PR for me today!

Okay week:  had a few hip issues and the race was okay, but not great (nothing to dwell on though).

Goals for next week:  It is going to be a busy one with XC high altitude camp.  So just have fun, enjoy the hills, and get the team on track.

Nice job David. Sounds like there was some big time competition there.

I told you it was there it just hadnt happened yet. That looks to not be the case anymore (knock on wood). Good job and keep up the smart training. Dont over do it and STG will be incredible for you.

Nice job man. Logan and I talked all morning about how we wanted you to go have a solid race. Very nice indeed.

Dave, Thats pretty cool that you could run that time coming off the kind of mileage you have been running.

From Mike Warren on Sun, Jul 25, 2010 at 14:56:54 from 166.205.136.31

Solid run, as usual. Great job. Where do you take your team for camp?

From Paul on Sun, Jul 25, 2010 at 17:34:15 from 174.27.193.158

Nice job. Better to feel too good than to feel too bad.

From jtshad on Mon, Jul 26, 2010 at 12:41:43 from 204.134.132.225

Nicely done, you are running very well. Have fun at camp!
