0745 - Finished another A10! It was humid with temps around 70 at the start. I felt good at the start, though I started too far back in the pack (again) to get a decent 1st mile pace. (Got stuck in the spot-a-pot line). 1st mile was around 8:48. I picked it up from there to do the first half in 41:33. My plan was to run negative splits for the second half which I did manage to do, though I didn't break 80 mins as I'd been hoping. I did finish faster than last year by about 30 secs :). I felt good with two miles to go, but I felt myself wanning the last half-mile as the finish seemed forever away. Overall the day was great. I enjoyed the run and the post race festivities. |
