Road running race 1:02:08 [5] 10.0 mi (6:13 / mi)
shoes: Asics Hyperspeed (ii)
Bass belle 10 mile - 11th
Nice race, mostly on flat roads with about a mile and a half on a grassy path. It was a bit windy though! Miles 6-8 especially had some really strong gusts that slowed you right down, plus a cheeky hill for good measure.
Hard to tell but I think I paced it well. Let a small group go after 3 miles, and then was mostly on my own. Managed to hold one guy off and overtake a straggler from the group with a strong last couple of miles with the wind.
Didn't have my watch so no idea of pacing, but it was probably all over the place with the wind anyway. Got a time check of about 50:30 at 8 miles as I went past 12th place, so pleased with the 5:50 last couple of miles.
Nice to get a pb and erase the memory of my last 10 miler, probably the worst paced race I've ever run!
