Icebreaker 10 KM

The Icebreaker 10 Km was held a couple of weeks ago on a great spring day. the air temp was fine and there was limited ice on the route. When we lined up to start the race I was lucky to see many familiar faces. One was my old running partner Vince. I could remember running this race with him years ago and I was unable to match his pace, but I learned a lot about pacing from that day. Today he told me he was injured this year and was hoping to just run a 38. I was hoping to stick with him today. Luke was also beside me, Madi and Rose were all in sight.

For me I decided to run strong for as long as I could. this ended up being a 38:30 which I was very pleased with as I have not cracked 39 for some time. Following my finish was Vince and then....

Madi came home in 41:10 after taking a tumble on the ice at the mile marker (ouch)
It was great to see Corey again and he finished strong in 41:44
Kelly showed that she is getting ready for Wildflower with a 44:59
Mariano decided to start training for Wildflower :) with a 49:13
Rose raced well and finished in 52:37
Vivian was extremely grateful to be able to run and cross the finish line!

What a great day to run! We all had a wonderful race and enjoyed the morning!
