Ran the Peak Challenge 10k as a workout. Did a fartlek of two minutes hard, one minute easy, the whole way. The course went up a hill for a mile, back down the hill, then on the bike path for a mile, then repeated. The second time was pretty tough--it was hot and a bit windy which added to a tough workout on a tough course. Near the end I was doing my fast portion for the entirety of a marked quarter mile on the bike path, and ran an 84; I was wanting to be around 5:30 pace, so I think I did well.
Afterwards had a couple slices of pizza in addition to a thing of water and a thing of gross sports drink. I don't think there were any awards...at any rate I didn't win (the guy who did was actually faster than me and most likely would have had little trouble beating me even if I had raced it) and I didn't stick around since I needed to cool down by jogging home.
