This race was much harder than I expected. The heat, the hills and the unfamiliarity of the course was confusing the pace somewhere close to the end and I ran most of the race by myself with know one to follow. My goal pace between 6'55"-7'00" was bit more than I could handle, it was tough to maintain a good efficient rhythm throughout the race. I have roughly 2 1/2 weeks to build from this and keep grinding for the next 1/2 marathon. This 10K has shown that I've got some work to do. Overall I'm satisfied with my effort. Its quite a feeling running at top speed with my wife and son cheering me near the finish line.
