Oldroyd Family Life and Times of an Oldroyd

Today I ran my first official 10k race ever. It was part of the Lehi Roundup event. I don’t know why I was so nervous but I must have been because I hardly slept at all the night before. Kris and I left just before 6:00am to head for Lehi. We got situated in and kris lest to setup for pictures.
By the time the 7:00 race started I think my adrenaline was pretty well spent as it took about a mile into the race to get to a reasonable pace, feel, and cadence. The course was a little odd in how it ran through the neighborhoods and I guess they messed up on the overall distance. It was a bit longer than the 10k
I was tired but still hit my goal time. I was hoping to get in under 55 minutes. I made it in 53 minutes. I was able to kick it in at the last 100 yards or so to finish strong. It felt good. I took third place in my age division (at least there was 3 of us). They will have the official results soon and I’m interested in how my age group did speed-wise.
Cassidy had a singing performance that I missed 🙁 I saw the video afterwards and she really rocked it.
Papa Jim came in today as well. It has been nice and a good visit so far.
I’m pretty tired. Going to bed.
