Ran my 10K race, awaiting official time but my Garmin says 36:46. More or less the more realistic plan B I was aiming to. I think that I need a little bit more training to reach the sub 36:30, I managed to maintain goal pace up to Km 6 but then I started to lose a second or two per kilometer... This morning has been raining a lot up to 1h prior to the race, and despite being 99% road race there was a certain point in the circuit with watery ground and I had to slow a little bit at this point twice, maybe that could have done for 4 or 5 seconds faster race.. but that's all. My sub 36 friend ran in 36:24 quite close to me...
This is the Garmin data, I guess I started too fast, ran fast not only the 100 first meters but the 200, and got an average too fast first km, that may have hurt in the second part...

Well, at least is a little bit improvement over 3 weeks ago race and two sub 37 in a row, so I'm quite happy, I will try it again next week
