Probably close to the ugliest way to get exactly a 10 min/mile pace :) Very proud.
I was happy, comfortable and having fun through 20k, would have gone through half in about 1:57 to give me a bit of a cushion to get under 4, and I honestly can't figure out what happened right at 20k. I just lost it mentally.
I probably spent at least 5 minutes on First Ave talking with friends, as the convinced to me keep going.
Gathered myself around 30-35k and was able to enjoy the last hour and finish strong and with a smile.
After I digest, will write a more detailed report of the day. It's hard to be SO SO HAPPY and a bit disappointed at the same time. Just trying to wrap my head around and understand what happened.
Perfect 10:00! Falling apart mentally isn't very intriguing (I do it all the time.) But pulling back together for a strong finish... that's awesome! Way to stay at it and persevere!
ReplyDeleteNice strong finish. Everyone has a spot in the marathon that is hard for them. Sounds like yours is right after the half way point. Next time you'll remember that and that you got through it! Can't wait to read the whole report.
