    Congrats on your PR, Anthony! And great attempt at a sub 50. I was in the back of the 10K pack and survived my first SMC. Thanks for another fun video!

      Thank you so much Michelle! Sounds like you had a great time at your first Santa Monica Classic. Surviving is always a plus! Haha.
      I hope to see you at future races or at the LA Road Runners.

    This was my second SMC. Last year I was dealing with severe shin splints and had to stop a few times throughout the race and got a time of 54:40 which I wasn’t too happy about. Since then I’ve put a lot of work in and managed to get a 10K pr of 38:14 finishing 1st in my age division. Also I saw you at the starting line! You’ll definitely get sub 50 soon!

      Thanks Jack!! It was a great day and I am so happy with the outcome despite not hitting my goal. I am sure I will get there soon. Even though it was a little slower, I am so glad to hear you had a great run also. Congrats on another finisher medal to add to your collection. Hope you can make the Rose Bowl Half.

    @bev9708 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    WOW sooooo close!!!! BRAVO Anthony on smashing your PR!!!! You stopped at the aid stations during a 10k?? Ohhh you gotta hydrate well before the race so you don't waste time that's for sure. And pretty sure you would've gotten the sub 50 also if you hadn't filmed it, 'cause that can't be easy either when you're really goin' for it!! Nice video though and thanks for sharing!!

    • @runningformybestlife

    Great video and race! Caught a glimpse of myself at the finish line! Also came in short of going sub 50 but I think had the weather been a bit cooler we would’ve had it. Here’s to hoping next year it’s cooler!

    • @runningformybestlife
      @runningformybestlife  ปีที่แล้ว

    Congrats on the PR Anthony!!!! Oh man, that’s so close, just 2 seconds per mile less and you would have got the sub 50. Great effort 💪🏼 you’ll definitely get it next time. On 5 and 10k I try to hydrate before the race, so I usually don’t drink anything during the race, maybe just one or 2 cups of water to cool off, if the weather is hot or humid.

    • @runningformybestlife
      @runningformybestlife  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you my friend. Yeah, I learned a lot on this one when it comes to hydration. It was a close one. That last half mile was a killer!

    Congrats! I’m the dude breathing hard in the orange Wheaties shirt. Bad choice of wardrobe and won't wear in future races ; ) New to running and this was my first 10K. Next up is Rose Bowl half marathon and then LA Marathon. Just stumbled across your video and thought you looked familiar.

    What, so you only missed it by 11 seconds. HIGH FIVE ANTHONY! That is close enough to say you did it. And you did it carrying a GoPro. And in all honesty, nobody runs the course line perfectly. You probably ran closer to 6.3 miles rather than 6.2. So technically you did run a sub 50 10K. Your training is spot on. Big congratulations!!

    • @runningformybestlife
      @runningformybestlife  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Perhaps. But I still want the numerical proof. Haha. I am confident I will get it next time. I will be doing the Bimbo race in LA in a couple weeks. Perhaps I will do it then. I hope all is well on your end, Joe. Thanks again for watching and the support.
