This was a hard day for me. I ended up in the bathroom twice, but still managed to run a PR. The actual running was fairly well executed, but when you have to stop like that its hard to get to your goal. More later.

 

The splits:

 

1 - 6:15

2 - 6:07

3 - 5:48

4 - 5:51

5 - 6:03

6 - 5:44

7 - 5:58

8 - 6:41

9,10 - 12:46

11 - 6:30

12 - 6:05

13 - 7:09 (in the bathroom)

14 - 5:46

15 - 5:39

16 - 5:41

17 - 5:58

18 - 5:47

19 - 6:38

20 - 7:27 (bathroom again)

21  - 5:30

22 - 6:07

23 - 5:57

24 - 5:54

25 ,26 - 12:20

 

I started off pretty well and held back just about where I wanted. Near the top of the Veyo hill I stated to feel my stomach and the pace slacked off a bit. I finally decided to take a pit stop at 13 and came out feeling pretty good so I stepped up the pace. That worked well until 19 or so when I stated to feel my stomach again. Another break in the bathroom and I got back to it. I was starting to get tired and dehydrated from the heat and from playing catchup. Over the last two miles my hamstring was close to pulling so I had to lay back slightly. I think the heat contributed to my problems today, but I'm going to have to think about my diet and make sure this doesn't happen again. I suppose we all have to have an off day at some point. This was about as good an outcome as I can hope for given the circumstances. Still it was a fun race and it was a beautiful morning even if it was a little warm.
