Another 5k run

I did another 5k road race yesterday. Thought I was pacing myself well. Came in 10secs over my personal best at 26:40.

Later, when reviewing my stats on my watch I noticed that 6 minutes into the race my heart rate dropped significantly. I do not recall feeling like I could have ran a lot faster at that point. At the end, when I pushed it, I really could not have run any faster. However, most of the race my heart rate was much lower than when I train. I don’t understand unless my watch failed me somehow. Or, I can run faster sooner. We’ll see at the next race I guess.

5k, slightly hilly, pavement, 9c and clear.

still here ...

I'm still running and will start more regular postings within the next couple of weeks.

BTW - My personal best for a 5km run is 26min, 30sec. Not bad. Although there are always some that are very much faster. Oh, well.
