AM Laurie and Kire ran the speedster this morning. I paced Kire @ the 5K. I have to brag a little bit. He took 11th overall for all males and 1st in the under 9 group. He ran 26:11. That is smokin' for a 7 year old.
1-8:34, 2-8:28, 3-8:21
I think it was more like 26:05, because we started so far back in the pack, and we crossed the start line a tad bit later. The start line was on the trail, so it was ultra-congested. I think that was the only downside of the race. The course was fllat, and laurie ran a PR as well. They did awesome.
PM I went up to watch Lex play Utah Summer Games V-ball. Between the matches I went over to the SUU track and took some strides over the barriers and even got a couple water barrier turns in. It makes for a hard landing without the water, so I stopped after two. I also checked out the 10K course for next week. It drops out of the canyon and spits the runners out just south of centennial park for a big surge to the finish. It will be fast and furious. I am not sure if I should push hard with the track meet 8 days out, but I am sure I will once the adrenaline starts flowing. |
