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.
