So it's the day after the Toughest 10K (Race 1 of the Texas Bridge Series). I'm feeling great! I thought I would be sore in my hips and knees but all is well. Considering the steepness of the bridge and how many times we had to do it. I am very happy with my 1:05 time. I will admit that I was a little nervous before we started. Seeing the bridge in the distance before I started is very intimidating. I have driven over that bridge many many times and didn't realize how steep it was until I was running up it. The only place I have ran that can rival that is Austin. The hills in Austin are very unforgiving and so is that bridge! I decided not to over kill myself going up. I just took it nice and easy, then on the downside I will coast and then I would do some speed catch up when I was crossing under the bridge.
I kept forgetting that even after I finished the last pass over the bridge that I still had some more to run. It was great to cross the finish line and grab the water and then some more water AND the ice cream made it great as well. Took today off from running to do some studying for tests this week. Next race is the United Space Alliance 10 miler October 9th! I will be sporting this tomorrow at work!
