Well coming into this race I had a few goals. But basically I just wanted to beat my last time of 45 mins. I was running this one with a friend off of a different forum and he was going for a AG hardware. And wanted me to help pace him. So as we got ready to run this we ran into each other at the parking lot and headed out to warm up and get all that great stuff in before the race. The first mile and 2nd mile were rather faster then what we were wanting. But felt good to me. The 3rd was a bit harder with a hill but was wasnt to bad. And so I just kind of relaxed on it. As we hit the 5k mark I was pleasently suprised to see we had ran it under 20 mins. Was like 19:50 or so. And made a comment to my friend about if we kept it up we were going to hit the 40 min mark. He said something like "Oh boy I am going to be paying for that one later". So I just stuck with him the rest of the race. I felt a few urges to take off and not let anymore pass us. But want to help him out. And just kept tring to keep him going. The last mile on this course is just a slight uphill. But it isnt to bad just enough to slow you down and tell you that its there. As we got to the finish line area. He didnt have much left and said I could take off. So I had a nice fast sprint to the end. I am sure if I would of ran it alone that I could of gone 1-2 faster. So next time I will shoot for that. But was very happy even that much more to see my friend take 1st in his AG. So its all good. So 2 mile PR and helped a friend hit his 1st place goal. WIN WIN. Mile 1 5:47 Mile 2 6:12 Mile 3 7:15 Mile 4 7:14 Mile 5 7:14 Mile 6 7:39 Total time 43:15 or so. 6:50ish pace |
