Pretty fun race today, you ran with a partner and they combined your times and average age to determine place. My similarly aged partner Ron knocked down a 23:30! wow! very sticky and humid but only in the 70s and it was overcast so that helped. Warmed up a very slow .5 miles. Felt pretty solid throughout the whole race, I once again need to learn to push these short races, I definitely had more gas in the tank when it was done, because I was able to kick and pass two gals in the final quarter mile, which felt good. Splits were 6:24, 6:23, 6:35, 6:34, and then like 5:30 pace for the change at the end. This is about 20 seconds per mile faster than the River Run 10k two weeks ago, and I feel that fitness is progressing nicely and coming back. Honestly I aerobically felt really strong, wish I would have pushed that back half harder. Ran a 12 mile cooldown after. |
