Rode down with Fritz. The buses were late and I used a honey bucket so I was only able to warm up about .65. Plan was 10 at marathon pace and race to the finish. Did what I intended but the last 3 were slower than I wanted and I missed my pr by 9 seconds. Feeling confident notwithstanding. 5:56, 5:44, 5:46, 5:46, 5:45, 5:44, 5:46, 5:48, 5:56, 5:47, 5:44, 5:42, 5:42 and 29 to finish (4:55 pace). Strava tells me my effort on 11-13 was 5:38 so that's probably the right effort.
Afterward, I picked up some Asics Hyper Speed 6 shoes from Ken and Janae Richardson of utahrunning.com. I have joined their elite team and I will have a little bit of gear for Boston. I will test out the shoes to make sure I am comfortable for Boston but was pleased with them doing a couple errands today.
