Comments: I made sure I started easy for 1st mile, hit my goal pace of 7:30 right on. Mile 1 does have a hill, fairly flat afterwards. Never looked at my HR but just went of pace. Intentionally stayed a little below 7:30 for 1st half, at half way point (roughly) my avg pace was 7:21. Sped up on 2nd half and ended up with a negative split. I felt pretty good up to last turn around just over mile 9. Last 2.4 miles I was running sub 7:10 and was feeling it. Runners pretty spaced out end. I passed some females (12 min head start) and tried to catch a male but while I was able to gain I could not catch him. McMillan race calculator had me at a 7:13 based on 3/22 5k time (20:29) so that was part of the reason I decided to make my target goal a little faster. It wasn't too far off. Good tri club turnout: Mario, Joe M, Mederic, Joe R, Adam, Dave C that I saw. From the results: Trevor, Kameron, Chris Coon, Shaun P, Tom W, Mike F, Margo F, Wendy N. Volunteers: Mauers, Pater M, Bill N What would you do differently?: Not much, very happy with the race and my strategy. Post race
Warm down: Hung out with some of the tri club participants, partook of post race goodies and drinks. Short bike ride with Barb Sat afternoon, then Masters/nap. My legs definitely felt beat up on Sat and Sun but feeling pretty good today (Mon). What limited your ability to perform faster: Nothing Event comments: Maybe a little early for this distance for me but I would consider doing it again. Fools 5 was on Sun so it was one or the other but not both on the same weekend. Last updated: 2010-04-12 12:00 AM
