Notes
Epic day. Made it a long run and exercised extreme caution on the second half. Serious overheating and had to focus on that more than anything. Played it smart and didn't do anything stupid. No reason to.
Ran first 15 with a friend but had to leave him behind because we agreed a 4:15 would be easier on him and harder on me and a 3:45 would be easier on me and harder on him.
Walked through most water stations and drank two cups for most of the second half.
Can't complain about the placing. Last year the same placing got a 3:23 and I spent some time walking or stopped talking to others that also contributed to the time build up.
Over the last 15 weeks I averaged just 40.9 mpw. That's not marathon training but it's all my recovering from injury body could handle.
5K splits: 23:04, 46.52, 11:09, 1:36:10, 1:41:26, 2:03:43, 2:31:29, 3:00:18, 3:32:32
