Notes
I think I am somewhat confused by it all...
Started out feeling good... Feeling relaxed and I felt like I was moving fast. Handled the wind ok, and the first few hills up to the Galaxy theaters felt strong. Came down the hill, down curry, and moved over to Nevada street. Felt like I was going a bit too fast for it all, was gonna check my watch at the 5.6 mile mark (5 miles to go) and I had worked out that I wanted somewhere like maybe 43 high, but I thought I was gonna be 43 low or 42.
I was 46 mid. Way slow.
I redid all the math. Rethought the course. I was just slow.
So I picked it up. Telling myself I'll just push it down long with the wind at my back. Pretty soon I was cruising right along at a much faster pace. Legs still felt good, and my breathing might have been slightly easier. I made up all the time and ended up with the 7:53's for a total. So my best guess math is I was about 8:20s to start and 7:35s to finish... And the 7:35s might have felt easier...
So I'm all confused with my pacing and effort. Oh well... Tomorrow is a fartlek... I'm supposed to be confused on those... ;-)
