Comments:

Started out way too slowly. People were not organized by intended pace. There were people already walking by the middle of the first K!

After the first 2k, I picked up my pace and tried to keep it at around 5min/km.

My goal was to shoot for a negative split, be inside 50min and push hard in the last two km's.

I got the negative split just barely, missed sub-50min by about half a minute and couldn't push hard the last 2k but did manage to hold my pace.

What would you do differently?:

Not ride nearly 100K the day before.

It would have been nice to see my HR during the race. I'm pretty sure my RPE was higher than my actual HR.

This race was done for fun and to see how I could run on tired legs. Though over 3 minutes slower than my PB, I felt fine.

Mayde, who rode with me yesterday, did manage to beat her PB by a few seconds!!!!... and came in only 40 secs. behind me.

If she doesn't pass me on the bike already at Miami Man, I'll be looking behind my shoulder throughout the whole run. :)

7kms sub 5 min! I'm impressed.
I'm sure you would have hit your PB had it not been for the 100K the day before.
A great run on less than fresh legs.
