Finished my first 10-mile race...
Hey all,
I finished my first 10 mile race on Saturday (Monster Dash in St. Paul). I was actually pretty happy with my time! I totally thought I was on track for a pace somewhere in the 10's being that I was able to hold a conversation the whole way with my friend, however I ended up with a 9:20 pace and finished in just over 1:33. Both my friend and I were feeling so good that we both wished we would have signed up for the 1/2 and could have kept going for another 3 miles.
Brrr! It was definitely cold. Took about 4 miles for my fingers (in gloves) to finally warm up. My tracking app posted that it was 28 degrees when I started. Gotta love Minnesota.
Anyway here are my over all stats:
Time: 1:33:20
Avg. Pace: 9:20
Overall Place: 822/2181
Gender Place: 319:528
Age Group Place: 56/90 (35-39 yrs)
Cheers,
John
