Notes
Obviously wasn't going to be perfect, since it was the first race I'd run since the marathon in February and I hadn't trained for it at all. But I guess the cross training and the progressions runs, as well as hill work! have been doing the trick. Pleased with this time and place, even if it was a small race and even if I know I can do better.
10k in 47:26
5k in 22:47. so a definite positive split... not so great. I completely went out with the 3,6km runners and didn't hold back enough, which nipped me in the bud the last round.
And those hills. So many hills. 210 ft of ascent. Have had worse, but not much (I'm from Florida and don't do enough trail runs). No wonder it was called a crosslauf.
Beat girl 4 by 1 minute! But was beat by girl 2 by more than 6, so there's definite room for improvement!
But am pretty darn pleased with this "training" run.
