I did my first 10k race ever on Sunday. Running is definitely my least favourite part of triathlon and I don’t train for it nearly as much as I should. In fact, this race was the first time in my life I had ever run 10k! My longest training runs so far have been only 5 or 6k, so needless to say doing the full 10k was a bit of a shock to my legs. My quads were in absolute agony yesterday, and I’m still feeling some pain today. But I met my goal of doing 10k in under an hour! As one of the women at the starting line said, “It’s your first 10k? It doesn’t wmatter what your time is then. Whatever it is it’ll be a personal best!”
