My First 10K Race

Last week, I ran my first 10K race. It was a rather strange experience. I felt slightly nervous, of course, because I knew I couldn't win; yet, it was impossible to avoid that competitive feeling. I had spent several months preparing for the event, and my best time had been 60 minutes; therefore, my goal that day was to run the race in fewer than 60 minutes. It was a little tough in the beginning because we had to run on a very steep bridge and I had practiced only on flat terrain. When I reached the 6-kilometer mark, I felt tired and began to fall behind; at that point, I thought that I wouldn't reach my goal. Nevertheless, when we passed by a speed indicator for vehicles, it showed that I was running at a rate of about 12 kilometers per hour, so I knew that I had a good rhythm. That boosted my confidence and I began to accelerate. At about 50 meters from the finish line, I could see that the clock showed about 56 minutes, which made me feel very happy. In the end, I finished with a 56:34 record and my best time so far...but I hope not for long.

Well done, Juan Manuel! I congratulate you on your achievement (both athletic and linguistic). It is a great story, and I enjoyed reading it. Best of luck in your next race!

My first 10 km race

Last week I ran my first 10 kilometer race. It was a little bit strange. I felt nervous because I knew I couldn't win, but you (Profesionalmente, usas la palabra "one" y no "you") can't avoid that competitive feeling. I started preparing several months beforehand, and in the beginning my best time was 60 minutes, so I set my goal to doing it in less than 60 minutes. It was quite tough in the beginning because we had to run on a very steep bridge, but I had practiced only on flat terrain. When I was about 6 kilometers through the race, I had felt quite tired and had begun to stay behind. I had thought that I couldn´t reach my goal, but when we had passed through a speed indicator that had originally been meant for vehicles, it showed that my speed had been at about 12km hour, so I knew that I had a good rhythm. That raised my confidence and so I had begun to accelerate, and at about 50 meters from the finish line, I could see the clock at about 56 minutes- which had made me feel very happy. In the end, I finished with a 56:34 record, which is my best time until now, but I hope that it won't be for long!
