hmmm....
33.30 for 8.9k pretty disappointing
couldnt get to the front of the start so ended up about 40m back, and had to weave through 1000s people in the first 2 ks. ended up overtaking around 1000 people to end up 30th or 40th, but couldnt find anyone to run with, just kept overtaking people. i was looking to find the top packs, but never reached them. i even overtook 20 people in the final 1k downhill straight. in other words, the self seeding clearly didnt work.
still, nice fun run, but definitely not a successful race. wouldve been nice to go with tiger who got 31.59.
anyone interested in other peoples more detailed feedback on shortcomings of the event should go here - a coolrunning thread.
still, pretty good fun in the end, and it did feel good to go past so many people.
plus, not sure about the k markers. apparently my k splits went 4:00, 3:45, 3:30, 4:15, 3:30 for 5k in 18:55. then not to sure, 7k in around 27 mins? im pretty sure somethings not right there...
