Notes
The Paddy Kelly 5M in Brockton, MA
Really good run - started controlled,stuck behind a guy who seemed to be on about the right pace. Stayed with him for 2 miles, feeling pretty comfortable. Felt good enough to pass him, got faster over the second half of the race. In retrospect, could have started more aggresively, but no complaints - did a lot better than I expected. Only really kicked for the last minute.
Splits as follows:
Mile 1: 7:20.3 = 8.18 mph
Mile 2: 7:25.7 = 8.08 mph
Mile 3: 7:06.6 = 8.44 mph
Mile 4: 6:51.8 = 8.74 mph
Mile 5: 6:36.8 = 9.07 mph
Overall: 35:21.2 = 8.49mph
