Notes
Ran the Towpath Ten Ten 10 mile race in Valley View today. This was a really nice race. It was well done with plenty of water stops and a nice buffet at Quaker Steak after the race. It was pretty hot out today, but I drank Gatorade at every water stop (5 of them). I also dumped water on my head at the last 3 stops. I passed a ton of people during this race and I passed everyone with authority. I did not just creep past them. I passed them and did not let back up until they were securely behind me. Not a single person that I passed tried to go with me. I did walk briefly through each water stop and this plan seems to be a much better way for me to go than running through my water breaks. I probably only walked for a total of about 15 seconds at each water stop. I did not have the pace that I had at my half marathon, but training had not been great over the past month, so I was not expecting too much. I would have been happy with anything under 90 minutes.
