2007 TC 10-miler results Well, I was right about where I expected to be - 1:44:48, for a 10:29/mile pace. This is a little slower than my first time doing the TC 10-miler, but again, I'm happy with the time, particularly given the weather. The weather was hot and sticky - as I write this, it's 82 degrees and 67% humidity. Rain had been in the forecast but didn't make an appearance. Even so, I was soaked just from my own sweat by the time I got to the finish. I feel a little concerned for the slower folks doing the full marathon; they got baked today.

I ran into Sarah Harwood at the start; we've done several of the same races over the past few years. It was nice to have someone to chat with for the first few miles.

At the finish, I managed to put on a little extra gas after the hill, passed several people heading into the chute (always a nice feeling), and got my banana, t-shirt, and massage.

The next race is in two weeks - another half-marathon, the Monster Dash!

  Hey! Abby! Hope to see you tomorrow I'm running in the Twin Cities 10-miler tomorrow (Oct 7th, 2007). It's supposed to be stinky hot for October in Minnesota; the high today (the day before the race) was a record-setting 87 - the normal high for early october is in the mid 60s.

I expect to be slow. Nevertheless, it should be a good run. The re-route around the collapsed I-35W bridge makes the middle part of the course even more in synch with my usual route for running home.

Abby Hegland - hope you got in, hope to see you tomorrow!
