First time racing a 10K today, so didn't have too many expectations other than to try to run a pace that aligns with my current fitness, so was thinking that would likely be low-mid 33s. Ended up close with a 33:42 finish time. Warmed up with 3 miles and had a little bit of time to wait around before the race started. Plan was to go 5:25 pace and then try to drop it down in the second half if I could. Race started and I pretty much stuck to that plan. Came through the first 5K in 16:52. Wasn't sure how well I could hang on for the second 5K, especially since I've never raced this distance before and didn't really know at the time if I was pacing it correctly. Seemed to be doing fine though. Last mile was after the turnaround and was into a slight headwind that felt like it was slowing me down. Almost thought I was going to blow it here, with the pace now reading 5:45 for a good part of this mile, so I was surprised to see 5:28 when the watch beeped at mile 6. Coasted it in the last 0.2 to the finish. Was hoping for maybe just slightly faster, but this was still good given the recent high mileage and workouts. Cooled down with 3 miles after.
