Steve - 9.2

2nd day of the corporate event. First up was the 10k road race. A double loop on the same 5k course. I just wanted to get through the race with a competitive effort. I only got my split for a few miles. I was 6:43 for the 1st mile and I was at 35:01 at the 5 mile. I did manage to throw down a solid close, running the final 1.2 miles in 7:20(6:07 pace) for a final time of 42:21. I can't recall the winning times for the 5 or 10k, but the 5k was 16 and change. I figure the terrain cost me about a minute in the 5k and 2 minutes in the 10k. Later in the day, I ran in relay where I ran a 1200 meter leg. My goal was to run 5 minute mile pace, or 3:45. My first lap was nearly perfect, either a 75 or 76. The second lap I lost focus and ran an 82, hitting 800 meters in 2:38. The middle lap is always tough. I got a second wind in the final 400 and closed in a 79 for a respectable 3:57. My legs were pretty much shot for this 1200, so I was pleased with it. I did a half-assed cooldown and called it a weekend.
