7:32 AP. Started at 5:30 am with Eddy. He was on a mission, and I hung on for 11.5 miles, at which time I had to back off the pace a little and let him go. Still a good run, although I was worn out and kinda death marched the last two miles. I definitely do better starting out conservative and speeding up at the end, rather than killing myself in the first half of the run! Still, managed an overall average pace for 19 that is a slightly faster than my PR marathon pace. I find this slightly encouraging. Splits so you can see my rough finish: 7:50, 7:50, 7:50, 7:23, 7:17, 7:09, 7:10, 7:07, 7:08, 7:19, 7:20, 7:25, 7:38, 7:37, 7:42, 7:38, 7:53, 8:00(ouch), 7:37, last 75 feet at 5:28 pace! |
