Tulsa Run Worst weather I have ran in for TR on a tough course; warm, humid, windy. Sub 60 is always a goal and gets you a special award mug. Rarely does anyone achieve this if don't have sub-20 first 5K. So went for it and went through at the same as my 5K race time just 1.5 months ago. Still a chance with my sub-40 10K split, but ran out of steam and mental will shortly after. I was running alone other than older Masters that had started 10-min early. Got passed by two in last mile. But once I saw the finish I sucked it up and surged to catch and pass them (although the young guy had started 8-sec behind me and out chipped me). Overall very pleased with my training and race. Just need to get back down under 170 lb to my better race weight. Next year at TR will be 50 and looking forward to opportunity to another sub-60! Top 3 things feel best about post race: 1) That I got to race after back was out a year ago 2) went through 10K sub-40; been along time since ran that and wondered if could still break 40 3) My hill training paid off when I got back past the two that passed me by running strong on the uphill to the finish
