Notes
COMMENTS: Beautiful race in Saguaro National Park East, on a challenging course that featured lots of rollers and a 400ft climb from mile 3.5-5. Slowed down by the starting crowd (started too far back w/Stephen from KR and Kevin) and by the hill. Other splits averaged 7:38, not including the extra 0.14M my Garmin registered (full kick, 6:51 pace)
8:32 (start crowd)
7:46
7:54
8:20 (start of hill 1/2 in)
9:15 (all in hill)
7:41
7:25
7:26
0:55 (0.14M, 6:51 pace)
Felt strong, even through hill. Started kick a bit early and tired near 6.5M, but caught a second wind and finished strong.
