Race that was never suppose to happen.

I signed up for Simplot/Portneuf Gateway 10k race at the last minute.  Can of felt sick on Friday with a weak feeling. Achy headache and an ear ache. My legs felt dead I wasn't sure I would have much of anything but a dead race in my legs.  I was sore from literally sitting for 16 hours at work the last two days on the phone with Oracle.  I even made lunch while on the phone in my office trying to troubleshoot an issue that required my full attention.  All the sitting caused my rear-end and hamstrings to ache.  That being said I didn't think it would be a good idea to run any type of race.  Plus... almost two weeks out from a marathon and over 70 for the week leads to the dead legs probably as well.

Race.
Find myself in a pack of 5 runners in the first mile and it seemed conservative which played well with me. The pace was slow the first mile at 7:04 but we were fighting a good head wind that was really strong. The first mile is straight and flat all the way.   By the second mile which has some small rolling hills I was in first place by 10 meters.  
Mile 2 -:  6:54   again this was slow and I was running slow but no one else was pushing so I decided to take off and push the pace.  I was feeling with high energy and surprised at the pace.
 Mile 3 - 6:21  this is an up and down mile and lots of turns, but I felt good and strong. You run uphill on a grassy area at the park which is about a 8% grade.for 200m and it drops down through a trail at the park around the rocks back to the road at the park.  Still felt slow and I should have looked at my Garmin.

This is a loop course so the next three miles exactly like the first three.
Mile 4-  6:18  Same as first mile of course.  Really should have did this in the beginning.
Milre 5 - 6:18  I felt good and all I could say was I should have done this in the beginning and trusted I could have went out faster.  About a minute and a half in first place (total 95 runners).

Mile 6 -  6:11  Felt good crusin on the up and downhill portion for the last mile. The course was a perfect 6.2 distance.  I felt good at the end and finished very strong.

Very humbling to win after my come back recovery.  
What I learned:
1.  I need to start trusting and pushing harder in the beginning.
2. I know I can get faster even with the  Rod in the leg.
3. Need to work on speed work if I desire to do more 10k's.
4.  Experience of not racing in a couple years has lead me to being bad at monitoring my in a race.

Did a 8 mile recovery run with Barry afterwards.  Barry finished third.

Later Saturday wanted to just lay around and do nothing.. just felt weak and sort of sick.
