Notes
I am absolutely floored by how well this race went. Everything just came together. I missed the first few mile markers, and by the time I realized how fast I was going, I was just in a groove. I started out at what felt like a fairly relaxed pace, then just kept picking people off until the end.
Splits, such as they were:
1-2: 15:12
3-4: 15:18
5: 7:26
6: 7:19
7: 7:22
8: 7:27
9-10: 14:46
I wasn't sure how long I could keep it up. But I never really ran out of gas. Of course it helped that the weather was perfect (albeit a little cold), very little wind, and a flat, dry course. And I felt great; no fatigue from the recent higher mileage.
