So I bailed on plans to go to the beach when I learned of a 10k going on. My running hasn't been super consistent here, but whatever. I'm convinced that you can run much longer than you'd think so long as you pick the right pace.
It was not only my first 10k, but my first road race. It was just running through the streets of Dakar, streets I actually already knew. In any case, I was in the 18-25 year old women category, and not surprisingly, there were only 2 other competitors. Young women in Senegal aren't really into sports. They walked.
Which means I won the race!
And now I'm quitting while I'm ahead and retiring from the 10k.
