Event: Bridges Fun Run
Note
Officially 35:57 and 24th place, but I'll claim my watch time...
8 AM
run race (Bridges 10km) 35:55 [5] 10.0 km (3:36 / km)
shoes: Asics 3000
In short - happy.
The long version... met Craig running up an ddown Riverside drive doing some strides before the start. He was healthy, so joined him. Tried very hard to start conservatively. As expected, a few of the quick guys went clear off the line and I tried to stay relaxed and not get sucked into racing them. Got thrown a bit when a stack of idiots from B start grid came surging through at about the 500m mark, but managed to settle into a relaxed rhythm. Had a few sneaky peeks at Craig to try to match him. Hit the 1km mark in 3:27 - faster than intended, but feeling relatively well controlled. Made a conscious effort to back off a bit and was happy with a 7:03 split at 2km as it meant the 2nd km had been about right and still felt comfortable. Had slipped in front of craig in the crowd, so figured I was feeling good and would go it alone. Still feeling relaxed and easy till just short of 5km, when the first bit of fatigue started to hit. Knew it was going to hurt a bit from there. Had hoped to make it to about 7km before that feeling hit... Went through 5km in 17:42, which may have explained thiings :) Slowed a bit from there, but held it together pretty well. Finally saw Craig again as I came down off the Narrows with a little over a km to go and knew he would be coming back at me. Last km was tough, but just snuck in under 36 minutes, which happened to be my original stated goal when I decided to give this race a crack, so pretty stoked with that. Craig was flying at the finish - closed the gap to 3 seconds.
Km splits

10 3:35 35:43
+12 sec to get to the finish line from where the GPS hit 10km... I wonder where the extra time/distance was?? (Had GPS set to record every second - actually found out where to do that)
17:42 first half, 18:12 for the second half. That was a bit more even than I thought. Gotta be happy with that.
