Run
Comments: The 5K for this race was my first race in 2005. A lot has happened since then, but this race always stays the same. Saw some friends beforehand, including JamieS. Lined up about 6th row or so, I used to start in the back, but there are always way too many people to run around, even for me. Last year set a 10K pr here at 52:24. Goal was to go sub 50, secondary goal to average in the 7:XXs. Wasn't sure I could do either, but had a pacing plan from my coach. It seemed aggressive to me, even the first mile, but I was willing to give it a shot. Course is mildly rolling first 2 miles, flat for 2ish miles, then a little more rolling for the last 2 miles or so, including a short but steep hill about mile 5.5 Plan was to run miles 1-3 a bit over 8/mm, than at 4 reassess and either maintain or pick it up, to mile 5, increase focus every :30, then 1/4 mile turn it on. I have rarely run 8s, so the plan seemed hard to me. In practice though the 8s seemed comfortable, and I was ahead of the plan comfortably through 3. Got hard between 4 and 5 as we hit further rollers. Near the big hill at the end, I knew absent some major blowup I was going to hit my goal, so wasn't pushing as hard as I might've. I had my total time on the garmin, but was really looking at pace. Had I looked, I would have seen how close I was to sub 49. Didn't realize it until I saw the clock about 100 yds from the finish and by then it was too late. Splits Splits for race 7:59 169 8:02 165 7:45 169 7:44 170 7:51 174 8:00 173 1:38 174 What would you do differently?: Nothing, Great run Post race
Warm down: Ran/walked back along the course about 2 miles to find Wendy, then walked back with her. I was hurting by the end of that What limited your ability to perform faster: Nothing Last updated: 2013-02-03 12:00 AM

Drove down with Wendy early to get a spot at the gym before the roads closed. Sat and ate out oatmeal and drank our coffee and chatted, it was nice
10 minutes easy run, 5 pickups to 10K pace.
