7:01 pace. The race was short. 5.9. I thought about going another .3 to make it 10k, but I just ran until 6. It was a PR nontheless. They also started the clock significantly late, by 50 seconds or so. I'll stick with my garmin time.
The race thinned out pretty quick. A half mile into it, there was a pack of 3 or 4 who sprinted out (at least sprint by my definintion) and kept sprinting the whole race. Then there was Curtis and me and another pack that stayed about 100-150m behind. Curtis had to keep slowing down for me. I did return the favor at mile 3. He can't drink and run, so I stopped until he caught up. I think I may have been able to get sub-7s if it weren't for that. Maybe not, it was a nice break, and I was able to catch my breath. |
