Hale 10K Results

I raced the Hale 10K for the first time last weekend. I was pretty excited for this run as 10K isn't a race distance you see very often. To date, I've only ran three 10Ks--two of those being the most popular 10K in Utah: Deseret News.

The Hale 10K course makes a big loop through Orem, which added a nice mix of downhill and uphill.  The route was pretty icy on race day so I ran the freshly salted roads cautiously, and heeded the race director's repeated warning to "not aim for your fastest race".

My splits for the race were as followed:

8:53
8:18
8:37
9:02
9:50
8:38

The course came up a bit short, but I finished in 53:20--less than a minute off my current 10K PR. I'm not sure where I stand in my age group, but I'll update this post as soon as the results appear online.

Post script: the results just appeared online, and I took 3rd in my age group.
