I am very satisfied with yesterday's race.
I went in to the start rush, but pushed myself down after a half km. The first 5km were fast and I couldn't keep it up at the second half of the race. However, I only dropped a few secs/km. In the whole last km I managed to sprint, which I usually just manage to do at the last few hundred meters.
I finished at 3rd or 4th place at the time 38 minutes, which is a big improvement from my last race at 39:11. I think the track measured a little less than 10k, but not much. The pace was 3:48 min/km.
Not overly tired afterwards, but I feel I did the most of it anyway
Later today I will do my 1 hour easy for recovery.
