Not the greatest race I've ever had but I'm not going to complain about a 40 second PR. The pace just didn't feel easy even at the beginning and I really had to hang on during the middle uphill portion of the course. My splits were 5:22,5:17,5:20,5:28,5:30,5:21 and 4:44 pace for the last .2. I had competition just ahead of me for 3rd place but I just didn't have enough to catch him in the end. It was awesome to have my wife and kids out there watching and I won a turkey for my age group award. All in all it was a great day and a great way to start the day. Now its taper time and just a little bit of marathon pace stuff left to go before next weekend. I hope everyone had a great day! |
