Another weekend, another 10 K race. This time in Ormož.
It was great to run here after a ten years absence. The event offers a half marathon, 10 K, and 5 K runs. I opted for a 10 K distance because it was also valid for the masters national championships.
Look at this. Both feet in the air, almost flying. At least it can be clearly seen I was running.
The run was on at 10 am when it was still reasonably warm. The sun and asphalt did their trick and at the time we were ending our run it was hot, really hot.
The plan was to run fairly fast and try to do my best. The course was fully on asphalt with constant up and downhill sections. The gradient wasn't significant yet there weren't any really flat sections.
In the end, the result was 47:44 which was a great result. After all, this was my fifth race in the last four weekends. Four 10 K runs and a 12 hours event.
The competition was mostly local and there weren't many runners in the national masters category si I finished third (out of three) in the 50 age group. Hence the left, a bronze medal. The right is the finisher medal. Fancy, ain't it?
Kilometer times. It shows that the course was vivid and thus the times are not consistent. Negative split? Not this time It was 23:31 vs 24:13 for the first half.
The map of the run for this out and back course.
There are more stories to tell and some videos to show. I'll publish them in the following days.
Next weekend? Yes, another 10 K run. Practically a home race in Trzin which is five kilometers from our home.
