My goal for the race today was to get in under the 50 min mark. I hav'nt done a 10k yet under 50 min. This race is almost in my backyard, which is the spanish fork riverbottoms. It is a great place for training and a race. My mile splits are as follows. Mile 1. 8:37 All uphill, legs felt tight and awkward 2. 7:38 Downhill to flat, starting to feel a good rythum 3. 7:29 Still feeling good 4. 7:40 Have not been chicked yet 5. 7:51 Starting to feel the strain 6. 7:45 Starting to feel pukie The last .12 was 7:01 This is the best I have felt in a race for a long time. I feel very good about the effort finally a 10k under 50 min with an average pace of 7:49 a good PR. The above splits are according to my garmin and total time of 47:50, give myself a B+. It was good to see some of the spanish fork crowd at the race. great race to Tom and Kim. |
