Subject: RE: Ironman USA Lake Placid : Official ThreadAdd me to the list of IMLP2010 participants who had a breakthrough race yesterday. For me it was the cherry blossom 10 miler. First real race I have done in over a year. First one I've been completely prepared for in over 2 years. I ran a lot of miles over the winter, and lost a lot of pounds, and was able to run in 68:02. My very ambitious (for me ) goal was 70 mins... and I just felt good and was able to execute well and was willing to be pretty uncomfortable by mile 7 and THEN turn on the hurt for the last 3 miles. This weekend = 10 miles @ 6:48 pace. previous 13.1 PR = 8:08 pace previous 10K PR = 7:48 pace. I literally have not been this fast since high school... and even then I wasn't this fast for 10 miles (it was all cross country races ). Like Fred, I broke my 5K/10K/10mile PRs* (but I'm only counting the offical 10 mile one ) in the race. Congrats to Fred, Traci, Ryan, and Albert as well! * technically, I've run a faster 5K then my 19 minute split for the last 3 miles yesterday (don't know what my 3.1 split was)... but not as an adult.Edited by JoshKaptur 2010-04-12 9:16 AM
