5 AM
Note
slept:7.5 weight:78.9kg
10 AM
Run - Road warm up/down 40:00 [2] 4.2 mi (9:31 / mi)
shoes: Bondi B
Parked at Kathy's house and ran into town. Plus ran up to the 1m mark and back on the course to stay warm. No drop bags allowed on Main St (unattended bags would be confiscated and destroyed) so dressed to be warm enough while waiting to start but not overdressed for racing.
Run - Road race 32:04 [5] 4.75 mi (6:45 / mi)
shoes: Bondi B
Haven't really run fast in 7 months, so no expectations of doing 'well' today. Goal was to run fast enough to keep my U35 seeding for next year, and to run a solid, evenly paced run (no running out of gas at the end). Successful on both counts, actually feeling and finishing stronger than I expected.
Splits - 6:29, 7:25, 6:30, 6:44, 4:54 - so pretty even splits given that the hill in mile 2 always adds about a minute. Stiff headwind as we approached E. Center street probably accounts for the slight slowing in mile 4.
506 of 15,000+, 16th of 654 in M50-54
