Comments: OK run. I was planning to do 6:45/mi pace for first 2-3 miles, then evaluate, for a sub 34. I read that this was a tough course though, and it was. I did manage a fast 1st mile (which was downhill), then the rest of the loop was really tough. the middle section with the steep rollers and loose gravel was the hardest. Felt pretty bad here and was seeking mental toughness and evaluating my plans for lap 2. Not much activity with other runners. Got passed twice in the 1st loop then we pretty much held our positions. I did see a two guys gaining on me in the last mile but managed to get to the final hill ahead of them and kicked it in strong to hold them off. average hr of 176 is pretty low. I'm not sure how to take this. it could largely have to do with the downhill sections (~2mi in total) where I let my hr come down to low 170s (I just didn't want to beat up the legs) What would you do differently?: not much. low expectactions on this run. would have been more serious if it was a pr course Post race
