Spectrum 10k

So a 10k, I have not done any 10k training, also I haven't race a 10k in almost a year.  I was roped into doing this race.  We had a family vacation in st. George so we all decided to do this race while we were down here.  Really beautiful course, really cool race but it is down hill.  Oh down hill my arch nemesis.  Like dogs and cats, wookies and ewoks or power rangers and the putty patrol, down hill and I do not get along.
So mike Nelson was at the race and he is a super stud.  I remember the good old days running with him at UVSC. Whats up with him being a stellar distance runner, the kid used to never want to running anything longer than a a few nautical miles.
Unfortunately I was checked out of the race before it even started because I knew there was down hill and I didn't have a chance. So I tried to just use this as a good workout.  I took it easy for the first 4 and thought I would have a little more in the tank over the last few miles,but man just a little bit of heat and a slight up hill was enough to beat me up like little mac whoops ol Don flaminco in punch out.
Good race, I won a gift certificate that I will likely never be able to use. they had wierd cardboard wood trophies which were cool just cause they were different.  Overall not a bad race, I'm sure a lot of people like it but it isn't my type.
