Notes
Reedy River Run 10k, 2nd ($700 + $100 2nd SC runner), 30:48. Not the best week of training leading up to this one but had a good race plan to be a little more aggressive. The race went out at a reasonable pace but after about half a mile I moved to take the lead and assert the pace so the race didnt have a chance to be tactical. I got reeled back in around flour field and that up hill was a little tough but was still in the race. we swung back around and once we were heading back onto McBee to go to Cleveland park Austin had started to gap me and I was stuck with Adam at that point. I worked the uphill after the 3 mile mark and really cranked as I caromed into Cleveland off a punishing downhill. That was the last I heard from Adam. I still had hopes of catching austin so I was pressing through the park but not making up enough ground. when we left, following the momentum-draining turns, it was nothing much but two substantial uphill climbs. On the first one I felt like I had slowed down to like 6:00 pace and would get caught at any moment but just kept pushing through. was second well ahead of Adam and Glen. good pay day and a good bounce back from a poor performance at tennessee. feeling confident going into the 25k champs in a few weeks.
