Run
Comments: Great run. My goal was to break 2 hours and I figured a 9 minute mile would put me at about 1:58. My first mile was 9:00, second was 8:31, much faster than I planned but I felt good. Slowed down to about 8:40 until mile 12. Last 2 miles were at about 9:00. I was surprised how good I felt at the 8:40 pace. What would you do differently?: Nothing. This was a great race for me. Much better than expected, both mentally and physically. Post race
Warm down: Walk around, get some pancakes, drink water. What limited your ability to perform faster: Genetics. Event comments: I think all the triathlons and training has made me much stronger mentally. At mile 7 I felt great and told myself, "Only a 10k to go!!" and kept up my positive attitude. The old me would have been thinking "I am barely half done with this and still have a 10k left. Last updated: 2005-12-11 12:00 AM
