The high point to this years race was that I ran my best time of 50:28. This was almost two minutes faster than last years race where I ran 52:11.
The low point is that I was shooting for 48 or 49 minutes. I felt good going into the race and was coming off a decent week of training. What sucks is that I ran into the exact same problem in this years race that I did last year where I experienced a system crash after hitting mile five (5). At this point I'm averaging an 8 minute mile and hit the mile five (5) marker at 40 minutes. From here using every ounce of remaining energy it takes 10 minutes to make it to the finish line. I blame all of this on bad eating habits and a crappy diet. My next 10k is the Peachtree Road Race so I have until then to figure this out as I aim to make it to the 40 minute 10k club.
