Pre-race routine:

Had some HEED and a GU shortly before start.

Ran about 20 minutes with 4 x 1 min openers. Stretched.

Run

40m 36s
6.21 miles
06m 32s min/mile

Comments:

Started too fast! I should be smarter than that.

What would you do differently?:

Start a bit slower. Train a lot more. I don't feel like I've really run much (especially much tempo or faster) since Ironman.

Post race

Warm down:

Walk/jog back to car.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Pure speed, leg turnover. Felt pretty fine after the race, just don't have that extra gear yet.

Event comments:

I think this is my first real 10K in 3 years! Perfect day for it. I hoped to go under 40 minutes, but just don't have the legs for that yet. I'll get there.
