Well, that was the fastest I've run for the first mile of a race in a LONG time. Unfortunately, my pace was that much slower the last two miles. The course was slightly different (we essentially ran it backwards). I beat my time from last year by about 50 seconds. The official time had me at 20:17, which is 6:31 pace. My splits were about (6:09, 12:56[6:47], 19:40[6:44]). I didn't feel like I slowed down, but more people passed me than I passed. Of course, the first mile was all downhill... so that could have something to do with it. I was 61st female, 200th overall, 11th in my age group. I was a little bummed that I didn't break 20, but the race was at the end of a hard and high-mileage week. Next year, I guess. Or, maybe I'll run awesomely at Shoreline on Oct 21st. That is my taper week. =)
