Edit: official time 17:19, 6 second PR. Still not great but better than I thought. The finish line must have been not where I thought it was. There were like 3 or 4 mats so I thought it was under the last one. HAHA best thing is I was 7th out of, get this, 2100 lol. Of course the winner did go 14:25 but wow that is a lot of slow people.
Ugh. I just felt bad right from the warmup. But I may know why now. I think it might be due to the bendryl that I took last night. And I also took benedryl the night before both of the mile races. But I didn't the night before the half marathon. I think it might be a risidual effect. Splits were 5:24, 5:41, 5:35, 44 (died horribly in the last 800 meters totally rigging by the end). Mark my words. I will split 5k faster than this in my 5miler on thursday and it will feel easy. I know I am in better shape than this. EDIT: Now that the official time is in I take back this statement. I may yet split the final 5k faster but since I plan to negative split the 5 mile race I will come close but will not be faster than this time. I am aiming to break 28 which is 5:36 pace. I will go out closer to 5:40-45 then ratchet it down and if all goes well I should be able to close sub 5:30.
