A short 2k in the park

On wednesday night I ran the ON XC in the Park race at Cobbs Hill. I believe that this is the first 2k race that I have ever run, and I finished in 10:13.

The decision to run this race was made a bit last minute, but as the shortest race that I have run in years, there was very little downside to not doing any specific training. I decided to do my best to take the course a full speed, but the uneven grass and the giant hill in the middle of the course slowed me down a bit. I feel like I finished with plenty still in the tank, but I am unsure of which section I could have reasonably increased my speed.

My next race will be the Run our Trails series in Mendon Ponds at the end of July.
