Notes
Tempo'd the 10k at Montevallo. Goal was to work with Pettinga and Plantinga and make it progressive. It ended up being pretty steady all the way through. Lap splits early on were a bit inconsistent. They ranged from 79-83. Eventually I broke away from them and was clipping off 82s. Diemer told me I couldn't go even if I felt good, so I just kept it right there because it felt good. Aerobically this was pretty easy. Fairly confident if I was racing I could have gone 32:xx, but the legs were pretty shot from the week of training. They just felt heavy way earlier than normal. I could talk to people on the sideline and ask for some water, but going faster than 80 didn't feel that great at the end. My goal was to be around 34:00 and if it was not for a few laps were I basically ran backwards on the track to run with Plantinga for 800, I would have ran that. Got in a good effort and that was the goal, so mission accomplished.
