Comments: Went out strong. When I saw the mile 1 split I thought I was going too fast but just after that there is an uphill for about a mile so I kept pressing. After mile 2 it is a long slow downhill to mile three where there is a quick steep downhill then flat for the rest of the course. At the 3.1 mile mark I looked and was at a 19:45. That is only 9 seconds from my 5K PR! Just after that I really hit a wall and felt like I wanted to stop and walk. I pressed on though and even though it was burning in my lungs, I finished strong to the end. I beat my previous best in this event by 1 minute 41 seconds! I always seem to have this course slightly longer than an 8k which is 4.98 miles. I had it at 5.03 miles today. What would you do differently?: Nothng Post race
Warm down: Walked and waited for my kids to finish the 5k course and my wife to finish the 8K. Last updated: 2011-09-18 12:00 AM
