I really wanted a good 6 mi tempo and this very low key race was close to home and seemed to fit the bill. I waffled back and forth about whether to register or not but woke up Sat morning realizing I was pretty unmotivated to run a tempo on my own so I paid $30 for a tempo workout. I kind of wanted to run the entire course as a warmup but I did not have time and only got about 4 miles in.
I ran about exactly what I expected but I would have liked for it to have a felt a bit more comfortable. I was aiming for 6:10-6:15 pace and finished in 38:28/6:12 pace. The course was a bit tougher than I anticipated and I was coming off of a pretty hard week of training so I really can't be too dissapointed. Now to just run 5-6 seconds per mile faster than that at SC half.....
Fleet Feet really does put on good races and I always enjoy participating in there events. The courses are always honest and accurate which makes me incredibly happy. I also ended up winning a GC to the store so I guess the $30 tempo workout was worth it. :)
