10k race

Mandy, me, and our friend Yunmi ran in a 10k race today. It was a bit rainy this morning and it really started to pour about a half hour before the race. Luckily we found a vendor with a tent and got to stand under it until the water stopped falling from the sky. That was the end of the rain. I thought we had really good weather. I didn't run as fast as I had expected but that is because my Nike+ sensor hadn't been calibrated and was quite off during my training. So before when I was ran 10k, it was probably closer to 8.5-9. I had my music playlist carefully crafted to get me across the line in 50 minutes. I kept wondering when the end was and knew something was wrong when the music ran out and I got to listen to myself huff and puff the last kilometer or so. My final time was 57:10. My goal was 50, so now I have something to work toward. Altogether and fun and rewarding experience.
