Notes
Decided to jump in to the race, since on the schedule was a 10 mile tempo run. Goal was to start at 7:00/mile for the first three, get down to 6:30/mile through 10, then see what I had left. A dress rehearsal for Fargo.<br><br>Was doing fine on the pacing until I got into the wooded section. Seemed to take forever and kinda lost the plot in there. Allowed four people to pass me, which caused even more frustration. Was about to throw in the towel, but told myself to man up and run the damn thing.<br><br>These two guys who passed me pretty much annoyed me, both were wearing headphones and religious shirts. Passed one of them and the other guy tried to stay with me. He held on to me for a bit, then on the big uphill in the neighborhood, I kinda took it easy up it and he went pretty hard. Once we got to the top, I put a nice surge in and dropped him for good.<br><br>I then saw the last guy that passed me in the woods ahead of me. Caught him at mile 10 and passed him good. After he came up to me and said he tried to hang with me, but I was too strong. I just kept picking people off and it felt good.<br><br>
