I was a little disappointed with the time until two people with GPS watches measured it at 3.17 miles. Which means roughly 17:06 on an accurate course. Which means things are progressing nicely.
9/27/09 -- Nahant 30K -- 8th place, 1:57:02
I was happy with the overall result but truly disgusted with my inability to stick to any sort of plan. I did this race because my schedule called for a 20 mile run and I didn't feel like doing it alone.
Went out in 6:14, which was fine, but then I did: 6:03, 6:03, 5:50, 5:47, 5:51, 6:04 -- this on a course that had several steep hills.
In other words, way too fast for my current level of fitness, on that sort of course, right after a 5K. Real discomfort set in shortly after the 12 mile mark and I struggled home at a 6:38 pace for the last 6+ mi (6:17 avg for the day).
I'm an idiot.
