Notes
New PR! Humid. Warm 74F. Overcast. Started out too fast so ended up with positive splits
Must say that I am shocked that I ran 2 sub 12 minute miles. In a row. I could see in the beginning that I was going too fast and spent the rest of the race thinking, 'oh dear, I've got to slow down or I'm going to crash & burn." The humidity was getting to me, esp at the end. Legs felt fine but my breathing was really labored. I probably annoyed anyone around me with my incredibly loud, desperate panting. Entertained the idea of walking a few times, even when I could see the finish line. Must work on my mental toughness I guess. Skipped the water stops.
Last year when I did this race my official time was 43:11. No idea what my official time this year is b/c results have not been posted yet. So going by my Garmin time.
End time on Garmin should have been 35:31.27. Forgot to reset Garmin so ended up adding a few seconds accidentally.
