Good stuff, Obie! Congratulations! That can not be easy to race in that temperature. Badass indeed. You picked a heck of a way to make your 10K debut a memorable one. My first 10K was on a 75 degree day. No, I won't trade ya.

Great job, Polar indeed!
Way to make your first 10K a memorable one! I think you absolutely rocked it. For only your second time running the distance, your race report read like an old pro. Way to keep your focus at the start, not let the hills get the better of you, use the people around you, like striped socks lady, to pull you along, and then bring it home at the end! You ran a very solid race!
