http://accuchiptiming.com/images/Age_Group_Results-Giving_Kids.htm- 10k watch based PR by nearly 3 minutes!!!
pretty brutal 10k .. the first 3 miles today were harder than my 5k last week, in which I hit ~5:43 pace .. cold coming on might have something to do with it, or headwind, or both, or just fluctuations in performance. dno. all good though, had to push harder than expected - and I did, so i'm proud of that.
last 1.2 miles was brutal.
that "finish with a hard mile" in my recent training sessions, really helped me today. I was hurting but, I had 1.2 miles of "kick" (fatigued kick) in me .. kept thinking about the 5:21 I hit after so many miles in training, or the 5:4X's etc.. so, it helped me mentally, because I knew I could finish strong.
so that's pretty cool.
wanted sub37 but i'll take it
Also, Andrea (training partner) got 4th OA / first female with a huge PR. 38:38 watch? 38:49 official. flying!! Congrats!!!
^^ i've seen this happen quite a few times for myself.. HR going down as I pick up intensity to a certain point. Wonder if it's legit/accurate & has anything to do with running economy and such.............. never know. heh.
my splits: (just listing for comparison below)
- 5:52, 5:57, 6:05, 6:09, 6:01, 5:50, 0.23=5:36
- that 6:09 was pathetic .. i was debating life at that point, then manned the fu*k up.
runlikeagirl update: she hit 38:48 official, 38:38 watch .. previous PR was like, 39:24.
4th OA, 1st women. Was hoping she could catch Cory and get 3rd, lol.
her splits:
- 6:13, 6:11, 6:20, 6:12, 6:16, 6:14, 0.23=6:03
Cory is a damn beast. He's the guy who helped me PR my 1k. He takes big risks and sometimes they pay off. I just had more in the tank in the final 2 miles, even though he had a huge lead on me, I was able to cut it down. First time i've ever "sniped/hunted" someone... tbh, i'd rather be hunted. Hunting is stressful.. "will I be able to catch this guy?!!?" over and over. lol.
He got 37:31
His splits were:
- 5:50, 5:50, 6:00, 6:20, 6:20, 6:18, 0.13=6:21
- he ran 6:13, said maybe he ran "too many tangents" .. I need that tangent skill. I ran 0.1 mile more than him.. lmfao!
