10 April
RACE : 10K @ 48:31 ( 4:50 pace ) Soooo sweet, exhausting but such a rewarding accomplishment feeling!
Very lucky with weather, was a fairly warm but cloudy and dry morning, perfect conditions.
True RPE 10 : Race begins with 1km of uphill, so i was at 180bpm at 4 minutes already. Never fell below that, over 185 for the last 10 minutes and stuck at 190 for the last 5 minutes.
Also, so much higher level of runners compared to the same race-day's 5K event. I ended up ranking 170 between 1300 people. Winner did 31:05 , 10th 33:30 , 50th 41:10 , 100th 43:30
I didn't even make it to my age group leader-board (top 15), 15th dude did 46:26 , top 5 did 37:50 to 41:00. The 60-65 group had 3 guys between 41:00 and 44:00 for fucks shake!
Gotta step my game up lol.
