Well, it has now been quite a long time since this race, and I have a new one to write about, but I guess I'll give this one a quick summary first. We went down to Scottsdale for a Giant's themed weekend, running the 9K Giant Race, and then watching the spring training game later that day.
The race went very well, my goal was an hour or less. I think I was able to run the whole thing without stopping (I've been practicing steady pace rather than run/walk)... that is a first for me for really any distance run. Finished in 52:21, which is a 9:22 pace, which is much better than my best 10K pace (12:00 pace during an Olympic triathlon).
Oh yeah, the other funny thing about this race was that there was a mixup of bibs... I ended up with the bib of someone named 'Phil Duda' from Scottsdale or something, and he ran with mine. So, when I checked the official results for my name, I was something like 5 minutes faster than I really ran!
