We’re about to head over to Dallas for my first 10K—the Tour des Fleurs.
Being that this is my first 10K, I’m not really sure how much of a “race” this will be for me. Rather, I think I will go out at a good, but comfortable pace, and depending on how I am feeling in the last half, keep that pace, or really try to bring it on home.
Goals:
Two coworkers, Darren and Annabell, will also be out there. This will be Darren’s first attempt at the 10K, after racing a number of 5Ks. Annabell is racing the 20K, and is very, very fast. She’s run a number of marathons, including Boston, and has probably raced every distance there is. She currently has the 2nd fastest 10K time in Dallas/Fort Worth this year, for woman ages 45-49, at 43:02. Like I said, she’s fast.
I also hope to finally meet Kevin of 5ksandcabernets, who will be racing the 20K, in preparation for his upcoming marathon.
