MP run with eight miles at 8:25 and then 10 miles supposedly at MP. First two miles right on at 7:30 pace. Next three miles too fast at 7:10 and then two at 7:15. Had to walk a bit and hydrate. Mile seven at MP. Overall average of 10-mile segment was 7:45. Very warm and sunny with some humidity. Even the ice bath afterward didn't feel that cold. Felt good, but I must have been pretty heated up myself.

GA miles on the bike path with 9 x 15 second strides. Speed felt good, but a little ginger with the form as my knee is still sore.

Medium long run on the bike path with gorgeous weather. Average pace right around 8:15 and heart rate seemed to be very comfortable.

Repeat from previous year to gauge progress although no real taper. Course has two significant hills in the first mile +. A bit of a head wind and warm temperatures but very little humidity. Some GI issues before the race, but nothing during.

Splits were 6:23, 6:45, 6:55 and 6:30. The Garmin measured around .05 over four miles, thus the extra 12 seconds total.

Pretty happy overall with the finish given the lack of taper or specific speed training. Good to get some more race experience. Looks like I need to focus on mental toughness to hold pace in the third quarter of the the race.
