Personal:

I decided to join to hold myself accountable for my training and because I love learning from others running experiences. I just started running a little over a year ago and have a lot to learn. I work fulltime as a Manager of Telecommunications for Intermountain Healthcare and go to school online through Weber State University.

Race: Speedy Spaniard 10K (6.21 Miles) 00:38:18, Place overall: 2, Place in age division: 1

I am super happy with my performance today. I did not really have any goals in mind but knew I wanted to get a good realistic gage for where my fitness is at. This is a very honest 10K course in my opinion and I think I ran a really good race. I started conservatively and ran about 30-35 seconds behind Jen and Sylvia slowly gaining on them each mile. I caught and passed Jen with about a half mile to go and just did not speed up soon enough to catch Sylvia and she finished 9 seconds ahead of me. She is a SUU runner who just graduated and it was really fun to meet her.

6:26, 6:10, 6:08, 6:08, 6:15, 6:07, 5:46 for .2 - I ran smart, had fun, and felt great!

I really love these small town races because I know so many people running and it is just fun and more laid back. I ran back for my sister and she ran a new 10K PR...woohoo! Also very excited to hear how well everyone did at Des News....I feel like I missed the official Utah Olympics!

Time to hit the track and take this short distance training serious. I'm stoked about it!

Nice race Rachelle! I think it's a great course too and very honest. Was it Sylvia Bedford? If so, her Dad was my CC coach in high school and he is still a beast to this day :).

Great splits, look at that killer last mile wow! I am going to try and follow your example for smart pacing at my next 10k. This is great on an honest course!

Way to keep to your race plan and not get sucked into the speedy start. You ran very smart. Great job!

Awesome Rachelle. Very well executed race today! Great pacing btw!

Some day I may have to go spectate the Des News Olympics. It looks like some amazing athletes show up for that!

From Matt Poulsen on Wed, Jul 24, 2013 at 22:53:36 from 98.202.242.213

Nicely done, Rachelle! Very smart and well-run race!

Awesome job Rachelle! You are so amazing. I love reading your race reports, you are always so positive!:)

:-) very happy for you, Rachelle!

So awesome Rachelle, You are amazing!!

Brandon - Yes! Such a small world...my Dad taught her in HS and I grew up with her older sisters. She is just jumping into road racing post college and will do great.

April - the 5:46 was just for .2...I updated that.

Thanks so much everyone for the kind words and continued support.

Awesome job on a super tough course:)

From Tara on Thu, Jul 25, 2013 at 22:40:49 from 75.169.138.2

That really is a fun race! Great time, Rachelle!

From Tara on Thu, Jul 25, 2013 at 22:42:26 from 75.169.138.2

BTW, did you end up dressing like a cowgirl? I hope so. Spanish Fork is my alma mater, you would have made them all so proud:)

From Christie on Fri, Jul 26, 2013 at 12:37:57 from 74.213.202.246

Another awesome race for you Rachelle! Very cool for your sister too... sounds like she has caught the running bug? :)

From Ericka on Fri, Jul 26, 2013 at 17:13:38 from 50.160.10.74

Wow! Sounds like a good day. Awesome job!

From Jake K on Mon, Jul 29, 2013 at 12:17:14 from 67.177.11.154

Solid race. Keeping that first mile under control really paid off - you were able to keep it very consistent the rest of the way.

Keep running these 5/10Ks... you're really learning to run them well!
