Yeah, afternoon race. On the ocean. Through Colt Park no less. USATF certified course. 1:03:45, huge PR, would have been a 10k PR. I think today I had a sub 38 10k in me. Really. Don't know what happened but I fell apart big time at 7-8.5 miles. Got a terrible double stitch, felt like stopping. Somehow pulled it together and ran the last mile in 6:09 but by then my hopes of a top 10 were gone (I was 11th, 3rd in 40-50 men, I think).
Didn't get the first mile.
2 miles - 12:23, 6:12 pace, then 6:09, 6:34, 6:29, 6:15, 6:31 for 6-8, 6:44, 6:09. 6:23 average.
Serious GI issues after the race. Who the F signed me up for Putney tomorrow? I may just go and pick up my hat. Thanks for reading.
Congrats man. You forced me to go back through the archives and find my 10 mile PR... It was 1:01:48 on a super hard course. It was also a distance I never really trained for so not surprising... and those days are a pretty distant memory...
