run 38:14 [3] 10.0 km (3:49 / km) +16m 3:48 / km
Well, then. That hurt.
There is almost no way to avoid going out too fast. It all seems so easy. But I settled into a 3:50 pace and just tried to roll along. The first five clicks were a cinch. But then it settles in. That's only half way.
But I had a lot of time banked and ran sub 3:55 for the rest of the race keeping a sharp eye out for gnarly grey haired runners.
Finished in a great time. Super happy with that. Saw Joany on the over pass at the finish. Soooo sweet.
Made a plan. Worked the plan. A personal best at 61. Masters championship was gravy.
