Subject: Huntington Beach Distance Derby Anyone interested in doing the Huntington Beach Distance Derby on October 18th. The race is both the 5 mile and the 10 mile distance but the 10 miler is probably gonna be the big draw. Not so much here on the West Coast, but on the East Coast, the 10 Mile distance is very competitive and comparable to the 15k distance. Race tactics for the 10 miler are tough because it is run right on the ragged edge or just beyond for a lot longer then one cares to. Sub-60 is a very seductive target (Like a Sub-40 10k or a sub-20 5k) but is very tough to execute. (Requires the runner to avg just under a 6:00 Mile) A more reasonable pace for the 10 miler is just a few seconds per mile slower than the Half Marathon Pace. Edited by WaterDog66 2008-05-27 3:38 PM
