Notes
Happy with today's race, first mile was a little fast (5:40) for what my race plan called for, but it was down hill, so the effort was more like 6:00 pace. the first 1.5 miles was a steep down hill.
I was completely by myself after the 1/2 mile mark and finished 9 minutes in front of second place. Miles 11,12,13 had pain in my chest and was feeling the race at that point and my pace fell off. I think had I had someone to run with I could ran a bit faster. My 10 mile split was PR. So for me it was a fast day! I also set a new course record beating the old course record set in 2005! Three more weeks to the big day, Looking at today i have a great shot of hitting my goal time of sub 2:40, But I know to do that I need to really work hard and focus more than I did today.
