I approached this race the same way I did at Utah Valley. Try to keep the heart rate between 155 and 160 and see what kind of pace that got me. As well as trying to keep up better on fuel intake. I was wearing some new Kinvara's, hoping the miles I put in with my zero'd out launches would alleviate any achillies strain put on by the 4mm lift of the Kinvara's, which it did. I'll post the splits later. But I was able to keep the heart rate where I wanted. Set a new PR by 5 minutes from Utah Valley, and felt like I didn't really push myself. So now I am wondering just how far I can push and still maintain fuel consumption, energy levels, over heating, etc.

Ran the Hale Center 10k in Orem this morning. It was a great temperature for the run.

I was feeling pretty good and thought I would be able to PR, which I ended up doing by over 30 seconds from Freedom run in July. I finished almost 3 minutes faster than I ran this race in January. I held on to second place until about 3.75 miles then I got passed going up the hill and couldn't keep up with the younger folks. But love PRing and feeling great afterwards. Average heart rate 179. 5:51, 5:47, 6:00, 6:18, 6:29, 6:14. There is a pretty good hill on this course.
