Benjamin and I are running the Austin Distance Challenge (ADC) again this year. The first race of the season was the IBM Uptown Classic 10K that was held earlier this morning.
When we ran the ADC races last year we didn’t train consistently for them like Jeff (jeffford) and Jonobie (jonobie) did and we really felt it in the Freescale Marathon at the end. This year we’ve been very good about following a training schedule for the past three weeks and it paid off in the race today.
Without further ado, our results:
| Race: IBM Uptown Classic 10K | |

| 3 | 9:12/M |
| 4 | 8:36/M |
| 5 | 9:10/M |
| 6 | 8:39/M |
Next time we’re going to try to start out slower as I think we started out a bit too fast. Overall, we were pretty happy with our results.
Next race: Girl Scouts-Lone Star Council’s Scenic 10 Miler – October 22nd

Congrats! I confess that I’d peeked at your results already and was quite impressed with your times. ;-)
