Solid race performance today. This will be a good benchmark for continued training into IRONMAN Sweden. Got 31 seconds within my 2012 10K time. Couldn’t ask for a better outcome. Haven’t done much hill training but my current MAF (aerobic heart rate training) has given me a great base. Knee and all else held up pretty well with zero issues. Best part I still felt like I could have pushed a bit more out there today. Perfect weather as well for running. Pre race did a 1.8 mile warmup.
