Run
Comments: I started too hard. I was running 8min/mile, instead of my usual 9. I tried to slow the pace, but if I did I couldn't keep stride. I kept the pace fairly well until the hills. They killed me, and humbled me back to 9-9:30 min/mile pace. The whole race was into a 15-20km headwind. It was cold, and discouraging. I wanted to finish in less than 1:40. If I did very well I would have finished in 1:30. I finished faster than that. I was really happy. What would you do differently?: Start slower, try to maintain a constant pace through the race, or maybe even negative split. Post race
Warm down: Walk around the arena with my wife. 1 GU pack 1 muffin 6 orange slices What limited your ability to perform faster: I haven't been running much lately due to hip problems. Event comments: A nicely run race, put on by the local Optimist club to raise money for the community. Well worth attending. Last updated: 2006-05-23 12:00 AM
