Very good race! Did not know what to expect so I was aiming for a 5:15 pace to start with but I soon figured I could run a bit faster so I did. The first 2km were over before I knew it and then the hill came. I shortened the strides, looked down and once again it was no problem but of course the HR went way up, up the hill. Took me a bit to get it to a decent level again once I was up. The turnaround came and then I made sure to shortened the stride again by going down hill and not putting to much power on my hip as that is usually the killer (downhill running). It went fine and once down I increased the pace to get a negative split and make the last mile the fastest. Did a 12:50 out and a 12:25 back but of course the outcourse includes the hill. I am still happy with it. Would have liked to see sub 25 but as I was shooting for a 26:15 to start with I think I should be happy with my time and I just go sub 25 next month! Was 1:37 faster than a month ago! Thrilled about that! :)
Hip was a bit stiff afterwards but I made sure to use my foam roller once I got home!
