Ran the turkey trot as a final tuneup for the Space Coast half. With that in mind, did not plan on going all out and trying for sub 16. Instead was going to just shoot for 16:40-17:00, so more of a tempo effort. But with it being in a race setting it is hard to hold back so I settled into a 5:15 pace, but it still felt like I was cruising it at the mile mark. Definitely felt harder than a tempo effort closer to two miles, this was another 5:15, so 10:30 at two miles. Lost a little speed going up the hill in the third mile, so this one came in at 5:20. The last 0.1 was downhill so the pace naturally picked up, didn't feel the need to go as hard as I could here so I just kind of cruised it in. Finished in 16:20, 2 seconds off my PR which is pretty good considering I didn't go into this one with the intention of trying to get a PR. Harder than a tempo effort, but not quite all out, I would say 90-95% effort. Felt like I probably could've gone to 4 miles at this pace (Maybe in 16:00-16:05 shape right now?). Anyways, focus is on Sunday now. My goals are:

A: 1:12:xx

B 1:13:xx

C sub 1:14:35 (PR)

The C goal I should definitely get and will be pretty disappointed if I don't. The B goal seems reasonable and I think its something I can honestly shoot for without risking a major blowup. The A goal is a little bit of a stretch, but I don't think is totally out of reach, I would probably need to be having a very good day to hit this one. Race day weather is looking decent, mid 50s and not too windy, so I've got that going for me.
