2:59:17, it feels really good to finally run sub 3 hours after having a few off years due to injury/etc. Perfect race conditions today, about 50 degrees at the start with little wind. This is a point to point with about 140 0 ft elevation drop (2200 downhill and 800 uphill). The first 17 is mostly downhill with a few severe patches then the next 6 or so is challenging with rolling hills including 5 or 6 climbs. I paced the course well taking advantage of the downhills while leaving enough in the tank for the rolling sections. The pace fell off a little bit during the final 10k but I had built in enough of a cushion to stI'll get under 3 hours. Mile splits were 6:52, 6:56, 7:02, 6:55, 6:51, 6:43, 6:38, 6:18, 6:38, 6:57, 6:50, 6:52, 6:37, 6:49, 6:41, 6:32, 6:44, 6:42, 6:45, 7:00, 6:54, 7:00, 7:01, 7:04, 7:11, 7:03, 7:00pace for final .2. |
