Race Splits:

  • 1 mi - 8:34 / 2 mi - 8:29 / 3 mi - 8:21 / 4 mi - 8:08

Thoughts:

  • It's been a long time since I ran a race. I was extremely nervous. The race distance was fairly new to me. This would only be my third 8K since I began running in 2013.
  • The results were positive. I ran an overall average pace of 8:24. I earned a PR. I ran negative splits. I was the 10th female finisher.
  • Note to self - I need to practice my sprint at the finish. That was tough.
