Today was the day after weeks of training, the race was here; but not before quite the busy day at work. I expected it so I prepared well with saving time for a good lunch and snack before the evening race. After starting out with beautiful weather, the heat caught on late afternoon which made the race a bit hotter than expected and than I have been running in this Winter and Spring.

I started at the front to only look forward and never back. I was surprised how much that pushed me throughout the race. Only a handful of people passed me and I caught up to some towards the end. I did get some fatigue during the last mile which also included some cramping which was a surprise but I pushed through and achieve what I wanted; a new time record for me at 25:39! While it is quite the achievement towards my goal, it left me wanting more and getting below 25 minutes! I guess I will have to try again soon!
