1st half: 24:39 / 2nd half: 24:35 - Woot - a pair of 5K PRs!
Started out too fast - 7:07 through the first half mile. Started backing off a bit and got into 8:00 pace groove through second mile. Was feeling worn out through the first half of the third mile and the pace dropped to 8:30. I wanted to get away from a noisy breather behind me - so I attacked a hill, dropped him, and brought the pace back to 8:15. Second half of the race - I was grooving around an 8:00 pace - definitely harder than a tempo run - but felt okay. Picked up the pace a tad in the last half of the sixth mile and then kicked to the finish. Compared to other races - my kick didn't feel as strong as usual - maybe a result of starting a little too fast.
All in all, a good race and a nice healthy PR of more than 6 minutes! Woohoo! |
