Notes
It really sucks when you are disappointed in a PR, but I am seriously pissed!
First mile was a bit fast, but I was totally in control. Settled back a bit and tried to see where PB and JVD were -- turns out they were running together and sitting on me. Just tried to stay relaxed and back off a bit to let them catch me.
JVD came up on me during mile 3 (closer to 4) and I told him "It's about time." Then he surged and I tried to go with him -- uh no. So, just tried to stay in touch and was glad to be ahead of PB. PB caught me around mile 5 and I just tried to stay in touch -- uh no!!! Sh$t!!! Once PB started to pull away, I just kind of lost my will to push. Relaxed a bit and you can see the result. If I keep miles 6, 8 and 9 down to 6:05, I am right with PB (if not ahead of him).
I know that this wasn't a goal race, but I am not happy!!! I got some work to do if I want to run a fast 10k on Labor Day!!!
