Some details now. I felt pretty good for the most part but I probably went out a little to fast for my fitness level right now, but it seemed to workout alright. I felt good through mile 9 or 10 or so but then I started to get a little tired, I have had no speed workouts at all, I slowed down just a titch for a mile or so and then I was able to pick it up towards the end and it made me feel some what better with the effort. On mile 9 I had a guy pushing a stroller pass my and it didn't sit real well with me, but I had to take a potty stop and so he was way out there so I took my last GU and went after him. I couldn't go all out but I could see that I was gaining on him, so I just stayed with the pace and then just after the last bridge I was able to catch him and I passed him in the last mile. I know thats not a big deal and my fitness level sucks right now but it was a small victory for me, its not good to get beat by someone pushing a stroller. I would rather be chicked than have that happen! I'm not sure on my offical time but my Garmin said 1:43:14 so until I see the offical results I will go with that... My average pace was like 7:54 or close to that, I don't have my watch with me right now so I have no other splits or anything, maybe when I get home tomorrow I'll put them in. It was a fun race and it started right on time and the course was flat with some downhill but not a whole lot, so I'm glad I came down.
See ya tomorrow. |
