Zack - 8.75

8.75 miles 68:03 (7:46)
Fox Hollow #18 on the year, of course very wet trails due to lots of rain this week. Very slow, over 8 min pace out on Rexius although very muddy. I am still rundown from a lack of sleep but had enough fresh legs to go up in 8:35 (2 sec off PR), just didn't have the energy to speed up over the last 1/2 mile. Luke tried to pace me to a PR and did an excellent job, but I couldn't quite get it. Felt very easy going down and quite smooth with a quick 7:03 on some sketchy footing. Slowly accelerated on Rexius, ran the first mile in 6:44, the last 0.75 in 4:53 (6:30 pace). Very happy with the splits here, effort level is probably near 6flat pace on normal road if the mud factor is included. Cruised home EZ and pounded some chocolate milk and nachos before actually eating dinner.
