great race, great time,

First thing first the ankle was not a real problem though it is not 100% it took the first 3 miles to loosen up, still my stride is short and the ankle lets me know when I lengthen my stride or when I hit a crack in the road just right.  now my shins have been tight..  if not one thing it is another....

i had a great time riding out to the race with Kristen, and Jim.  Kristen had a sweet parking spot for us we just pulled in and was only two blocks away from the registration booth and finish line.  We meet up the Karl and started the race up by Square lake north of Stillwater and the route had you following the St. Croix River.

We all had PR this was my first 10 miler and I should have set my bar lower but I ran what I felt was a good pace for me. For the most part I ran the whole way..  except at 8 1/4 mile marker I took about 30 seconds to catch my breath. I was breathing hard and just needed to do it before going up the last little up that the course had for me.

Personal record..  1:24:46.. 

Now it is time to cut back a little heal up and do some Hill training..
