Luke - 13.6

13.6mi, 1:44:15 (7:39)
Holy crap! So fast. 4:43 PR. Slow for the first mile and a half, not great for the next two miles, then just better and better. At the top I was pretty sure I'd PR based on my time and how I felt, and I knew I'd have a PR when I checked my watch when I was getting water. At 3 miles to go I thought I had a chance at sub-1:45, so I went for it, especially in the last mile and a half. Didn't think I'd quite gotten it when I finished, but then looked at my watch and realized I'd done the last 1.5mi at 6:06 pace, and broken 1:45 by fifteen seconds. I think being at a race this morning (went and watched Zack PR in the 10k by 44 seconds) got me pumped. Also yesterday being so damn slow I guess functioned as a recovery day...I'll pretend I planned it that way.
Four (4) pull-ups. Splits: 12:38, 14:56, 8:46, 6:46, 7:20, 3:24, 3:17 (57:10) / 3:05, 2:33, 5:46, 5:37, 7:39, 13:12, 9:09.
