Ran with the Running Room, needed to be 6:00/km or faster to be back in time to pick up Irondaughter at gymnastics.
The
two lead runners seemed to be going at a pretty good clip. I don't
normally do the walk breaks, and after we completely missed the first
one, I figured I was with the right group. We did take some walk breaks,
but they were sporadic, and usually at a milestone, top of hill, next
light, at the corner, whatever, just take some water and what not.
Started
out with an average pace of 6:12/km after few km, then despite looking
at Garmin and regularly seeing 5:4x managed to drop the average pace to
6:18/km. By 16km were down to 6:08/km, so I was in good shape. Around
this time the ladies were planning to stop at a gas station to refuel,
so I decided to keep going on my own. I picked up the pace and got the
average down to 6:01/km.
Not bad. I was only a few minutes late picking up Irondaughter.
It was a tough run. I honestly can't remember how I ever ran a Marathon!
29.14km 2:55:41 Done.
