Another good race this morning. I thought maybe today was the day I would drop a new PB, but it didn't happen.
I consciously went out hard, first mile in 5:30, surprisingly felt OK (into the wind too.) Second mile slowed a little at 5:40 = 11:10. The last mile wasn't great. I didn't really fall apart, I just lost contact with the only people near me. I took a look behind me and saw nobody in sight, so I may have mentally eased up. Went through the last 1.1 in 6:19 (which is like 5:45 pace.) I definitely didn't have anything left at the end, but fortunately, I didn't need it. I came in 10th overall (17:30), and 11th place was 30 seconds back. I won my age group again, and came in 4th overall for the Grand Prix. So I picked up a nice new workout bag, a check for the age group win, and another check for being 4th in the series. Beautiful weather made it a nice way to end the summer racing season. Next up, Brielle 10k is Saturday, and after that, it's Cross-country season!!
