I felt good about my race today, but my splits were not to great. I warmed up about a half mile before the race which wasn't enough but I got to the start kind of late and also wasn't very motivated to warm-up. Then the race started and my first mile was 6:36, It felt good and I was excited to be over twenty seconds faster than the first mile in Heart of Holladay. The second mile was a gradual uphill but my time was still too slow. I ran a 7:55, and the last mile was a 7:37. The last tenth was 46. My final time was 22:55. I heard from alot of people that they ran about 40 seconds slower than Heart of Holladay because of the course. As far as effort goes I think I stayed consistent throughout the whole race because I was with the same people, and I was passing and gaining on people ahead of me. One thing that would have made my race faster was if I hadn't kept looking back. I looked back and saw how far away Alex was so I didn't attempt to kick and didn't run as fast the last mile as I probably could have. It would be better for me to run in fear. Other than that it was a good race. In the upcoming week I want to be more consistent in getting the mileage in. I'm supposed to try to hit 50. |
