Spectrum 10k... I was shooting for a sub 40 min finish. The course is fast the first 3 miles, but then we fight rollers for the last half. I was close, but GI issues played havoc with me. The first 5k was right on pace, and by mile 4 I was clinching to hold it all in. I was dry heaving at the finish line and all that pushing was causing the other end to shoot out. I ran for the portapotty.... I was a mess. I got third in my age division. The second place guy finished 15 sec ahead of me and first was about a minute. If the GI problems were not there I know I would have been a contender for first in my division. Oh well... gives me something to strive for next time! Splits: 6:03, 6:39, 6:22, 6:40, 6:52, 7:03, 6:03 (last 0.2)
I did a 3.1 mile warm up before the 10k, and a 1.5 mile cool down after the race. |
