Comments: 5k and half started at the same time and ran the same course the first 3 miles. I went out a little quicker than I wanted, probably would have finished about 7th in the 5k when we split and I was told only 1 person was ahead of me for the half. It stayed that way the entire run. Winner beat me by about 6 minutes. Planned on running a 5-5-5 plan. First 5 miles were to be at a pace of 6:45-50. I actually ran a 6:40 the first 5. Second 5 miles was to be 6:35-40. Actually went 6:39. Last 5k was to be anything faster than 6:35. Actual was 6;45. I think I could have went a little faster the last 5k had I had someone to chase. At that point the leader was probably about 5 minutes ahead and there was no one behind me, that I could hear or see. What would you do differently?: Nothing really. This was a 5 min PR for my half marathon from this same course last year. Post race
Warm down: Beer :) What limited your ability to perform faster: Nothing really. I went almost exactly the time my coach and I had decided was possible. Event comments: It was a fun race that benefits a lot of local charities in my community. Last updated: 2013-12-08 12:00 AM
