Bolder Boulder 2010

What a great day for a run! I was just really happy with myself because I really struggled with the altitude last year in Denver during the Fans on the Field.

Greg and I were running a little bit behind due to the road construction but we eventually got caught up to the F group at the start line. They even played the horse racing thing on a trumpet to start each wave.

The first part was downhill and Greg and I were rocking. As I saw the first mile sign ahead I looked down at my watch and saw just eight minutes. I was like Greg we are going wayyyy to fast. As you can see below that first split was under 9 but it allowed us to finish under an hour too.

There was a lot of fun along the way...bands...cheerleaders...marshmallow throwers...sprinklers...swimming pools..and good sized crowds cheering you on.

The course was very windee through Boulder and I did well taking some drinking breaks. As I got close to Folsom Field I knew I didn't have a lot left though and had to take a quick 10 second break. Greg had gotten ahead and had some people chanting my name as I got close to the entrance. But then even then we had to run a big loop across the field.

I was very happy though!
