Notes
Bronx 10-Mile... going in the VDOT calculator converted my Percy Sutton 5K time to 57:45, which seemed a bit ambitious (heat + hills of the 5K offsetting my usual slowdown as distance increases)... settled on sub-58 as a goal, with intermediate splits of 18 and 36 for 5K and 10K... went out very conservatively, with Roeske + Kline way in front, followed by an intermediate group of Spencer + Alex ahead of me... worked on reeling in the latter two, passing them around mile 3... then worked on Kline, getting him at 5 miles... Roeske is another story... massive negative split (29:19/28:18)... Strava mile splits of (these don't agree with NYRR but the mile markers seemed to be off by quite a bit): 5:50/5:55/5:53 (17:38 3M/18:13 5K, grabbed 18:19 at the actual 5K marker)... 5:48/5:35/5:56 (17:19 3M/17:54 5K/36:07 extrapolated 10K, don't remember what I hit at the marker)... 5:36/5:38/5:42 (16:56 3M/17:30 5K/53:57 extrapolated 15K, got 54:04 by the marker)... 5:23 last mile, which was basically straight downhill in the last 400 -- I was booking 5-min pace... fun splits if I take the last 3/6/9 miles and extrapolate: 17:16 5K, 34:58 10K, 53:09 15K, none of which I would have minded running in a race until recently!... felt fantastic at the end -- finally my endurance is catching up... could have definitely gone faster, I went out pretty conservatively
