thursday 26th - 10000m race
October 26th 2006 11:46
36:00 for 10000m (18:00 thru 5k)
very tough race, pretty boring in the middle bits cos i was running by my self, but great fun.
was shooting for sub 36 as first goal, then as close to 35 as possible. and i wouldve broken 36 if i hadnt gone to stop my watch as i was crossing the line; or if we didnt have to run into lane 3 to finish
i got 36:00:06 *this* close!
but i think that was worth a low 35, at least under 35:30 or 35:20, if i had been running with someone. there were parts in the middle where i couldnt keep putting the edge, the forward drive on, i was just tunning out. you need someone to race to distract you from the constant pounding which i wasnt ready for. still, 30 second pb and pretty happy.
first 2k in 7:06, first 3k in 10:40, 5k in 18:00, and last 2k in 7:03
but the first 3k and last 2k combined gives 17:43, and the middle 5k was 18:17. 34 second slowdown in the middle where i just tunned out and couldnt put on the drive. jumped out of it with about 6 laps to go when lazhar lapped me (again) and Sean said what i was thinking, which was to try to stick to him. i actually gained on him for a lap which mustve been moving, but after that i dropped off a bit but it put the intensity back, and i focused on lapping greta.
pretty good but know theres more to go. but dont think i was in sub 35 shape at all.
