Not a lot of sleep last night as I had to get up early to prep and put the turkey in the oven. Still felt pretty good though. This is a small race so my second place finish wasn't too surprising. The race went off at 8:30 am with temps around 38 degrees. I tried realy hard not to go out too fast and I probably ended up going out to slow. A 6:25 first mile was definetly slower than I had wanted. The good news was that all my miles were negative splits.
6:25 6:03 5:58 I averaged about 6:07's for the whole race. I was happy with my time as historicaly this race is slow- everyone felt it was a bit long. Personaly I thought it was fine. With the milage I've been putting in lately I didn't expect too much. Plus with another race on Saturday, it's nice to have somewhere to improve to. |
