Race: Big Sky State Games 10K (6.21 Miles) 00:44:07, Place overall: 9, Place in age division: 1

Total Distance

8.00

Ran the 10K today for Montana's State Games. It's always a small field. Course was nice, along a river for most of it but some rollers also. Tried to keep a 7:00 pace and got close to that so I'm very happy. Had to leave before awards but I'm pretty sure I placed in my age group which means I get a really nice medal - they're nice and heavy. Now I'm heading off to Scout Camp so I'll see you all in a week.

Turns out that I won my age group and got in the top 10 males. Just goes to show how nobody shows up for this race. Other races around town get some competitors but not this one. Guess I'll have to keep doing these!

Well run Russ. Drop in some of those 10x1 min hills and you'll fly. Enjoy the camp and make sure you don't fall in the water.

Good job Russ!

Thanks guys! That race felt good. I'm hoping that it's a portent of good things to come in the September marathon. And camping was a blast. I forgot how much I love to be around water and on boats. Might be buying a used boat sometime soon.
