Good trip out to Madison. Visited quite a few breweries, drank some hard to get beers, and ran a decent 10K. Wasn't feeling stellar during the warm up but once the gun went off I got after it. Solo effort for the most part, as a few high school kids were way up front and the next guy after me finished a full 90 seconds behind. The mile splits:
6:21
6:13
6:17 (19:40 at 5K)
6:16
6:08
6:05
Officially 39:09. I made a wrong turn 4.5 miles into the race and ran an extra 15 seconds or so, so this could have easily been a sub 39. No big head though, this effort in Colorado would have been close to 43 minutes.
Lots of fun, and happy with the hard effort. Especially the last two miles, when I was really struggling to hold everything together but still managing my fastest miles of the race. Two good lower mileage races in a row, starting to feel pretty fit. Hope to go sub 52 at the Summer Roundup this Sunday.
$100 PR'd at 57:44!
