IceBreaker 10Km

Icebreaker 10 Km took place last Sunday on a beautiful day for a run. We were very lucky not to have the snow that I see today as I type this. Wow, Calgary weather never ceases to amaze me.

The big story of the day was Maddie. She was running in he 1st 10 Km of the year. Before the run I asked her what she wanted to run. She told me 41-42min. Her last year's time was 46. I said Ok and we we off. Strong pace from the start and she seemed to be in good form. At the 1 km mark we were 3:46. Very quick. We hung on to a solid pace up until the 5 Km mark where we ran into Lyndsey. She was having a good day while feeling the hard workouts from the week in her legs. Together all 3 of us ran to the finish in a PR for Maddie of 41:36. Yes she was happy!!!

Just ahead of us Corey finished in 40:59 who was also happy with his run. He passed up going up the hill and then we lost sight of him. Good job Corey.

Unknowingly we were helping pace Tim as well. He could see us in the distance for most of the race and he finished in 42:56. A good time considering he has been sick all week.

Mariano and Rose also got some Wildflower training in as well and ran the 10 Km in 53:35. We need more of these 10 Km races so Mariano can have more runs.... :)

After the race the brunch was amazing! Very delicious food Mmmm! Definitely mark this race on your calender for next year.

Next races: Spring trio 10, 15 km and MRC sprint triathlon on the weekend!! Good Luck!
