15. Mazdalauf Eilenburg 2011: 10km – 32:29min (7th place)

March 7, 2011

The first race for me in spring was a 10K in nice conditions on a flat course. Friday night our training group decided to run the race instead of doing a tempo session on the weekend.

The race was just as expected. I wanted to run 33 minus X and that X turned out to be 31 seconds. The first two thirds of the race went really well and I was running even splits until approximately km 7. At this point I was chasing some guys but somehow I couldn’t keep the pace and the muscles were getting more and more tense.

Once I will get some more speed work done and less mileage in training (=fresher legs), the times will improve. Due to the fact that I missed 3 of the 4 last tempo sessions I should not be too unsatisfied with my performance.
