10kstar.
so i forgot to update about my race on sunday.
i lowered my personal best (well, i've only done one other "official" race) by 1:50 at the distance to clock in at 44:15. my previous best was 46:06, and my pre-race goal was a sub-45:00.
actually i blazed the first 5km for a 20:38, but i got these super bad cramps and was fighting them for 2km or so, slowing myself down. this is evidenced by a first half pace of 6:35/mile and a second half pace of 7:35/mile, a full minute slower per mile.
the first 5km time is a personal best too, beating my race time of 22:05. though i will not count it because i was not in a 5km race. next time i do one i shoot for sub-20:00.
this was a good race based on my only having one month of training. i should train more and see what i can really do. sub-40:00 one day, i tell ya.
and next time i race no beers, wings, and staying up super late the night before. damn alcohol and lack of sleep messed up my race! :P
go me. sorry for all the technical running jargon.
