Last night I ran in the Eaton Electrical Downtown Dash in Burlington.

I don't normally brag but I ran a PB that was nearly 3 minutes better than my previous 10k PB.

I finished in 50:28 (previous PB: 53:17) and placed 2nd in my age group (20-24) and 13th over all for the women in a field of 90.

This was also my first race in this new age group.

The weather for the race was 85 F with 65% humidity.

I'm looking forward to racing this distance in the fall Smile

WTG, especially with those conditions.

Run until the trail runs out.

Good job, with cooler temps and less humidity this fall I bet you will set more PR's this fall.

Thanks everyone for all the support. I'm looking forward to running some faster times in the fall.

I hope to have more results to boast about on RA next season. I always try to impress the RA members Wink
