Triple Crown Trail Race Results
Half Marathon: 1:52:23 (8:35 pace)
10k: 58:11 (9:23 pace)
5k: 32:48 (10:35 pace)
20th Place Overall
6th Place in my age group (I was shooting for top 10; FWIW the winning pace was ~7:57 avg)
68 people started the race, 54 finished.
It's a pretty tough course, so I'm not too disappointed with my paces.
Same goes for the drop off between half and 10k: I was out of gas and I've only been training for half marathon distances.
I'm slightly disappointed at the steep drop-off between the 10k and 5k, but at least some of that was due to getting caught behind people in the single-track section. I should have started more in the front of the pack to keep this from happening, but oh well. I probably could have made up some of my time on the last mile or two as I ended up with enough gas to finish strong, but I didn't want to hurt myself as I had felt some hamstring pain in the last half mile of the 10k.
