Hello everyone!!, just got back from another 10k today in Matamoros Mexico!. This time is the 10K Vallevision.

The good thing is that I made it again under a time of 60 minutes!, the bad thing is that it was a very hard race!!. This is the first time where I run on a city that is very near to a beach. The humidity was intolerable and the heat of the sun during the race was also pretty bad!

The race started a little late if you ask me, we started running around 8:20 am, and by 9:00 the sun was already out, so there was some running with the sun up, and that just made things difficult. The route was pretty easy, straight without hills, so under some other circumstances, this would have been a real good race to bring down my time more.

I ended up making 58:22, which is some seconds below of my last 10k race, but the good thing is that this is my second run doing less than 60 minutes!!. The organization of the race was OK only. I did noticed that it seemed like the km were not equal all the time, and I got the feeling at the end that I ran more than 10 km.

One good thing is that I invited a friend to the race, and he accepted, so I am making my running club larger every day!!

My wife did not go, for this race I needed to wake up at 5:00 am to drive 40 minutes to get to the race city, so it was kind of hard for her. I really missed her, it was kind of boring to wait to the race to start when she was not there.

I took some pictures at the end of the race, they are not the best, but here they are:

Another nice thing, is that I got this cool tattoo on my shoulder of the race sponsors, so that is something new.

Also, if you have Twitter, add me, I have found this tool inspiring with the huge amount of runners that I have know trough twitter, they are always there for support and to read interesting articles on their blogs about their races and practices.

Well, see ya everyone!

Regards,
