Wild run for Sierra Area Rescue

I did this run as 10K I think this is the only 10K this year.  I did do half of a half though which is very close this distance.  This race was tough since it was very hilly.


I was shocked that it came with a whistle.  I was excited to run near Shaver Lake.  I do want to run around it sometime.  I have a map but I have yet to figure out how to do it.  


This was my after run photo.  I did need my inhaler after the race due to my lungs hurting so much.   This was due to the dust created by the other runners.  I have seen some areas like these in the lake loop which I often run.  The lake loop run does not cause my socks to turn another color.  


 I have washed these socks once and they are still dirty due to how much dust they picked up.  The shoes were so dusty they left dust on two more pair of socks that I own.  I wonder if you can wash your running shoes? These were my results.  I was number 139 over all.  I started feeling sick around mile 3 and never have recovered.  My timing was off of what I wanted.  This comes down to a 13:24 pace.
 139 1061 Janet Chung Auberry CA 42 Female 1:23:16     I do like to keep it closer to a 12 minute mile.  This one did not meet that.  It was a combination of dust and exhaustion.
