Hi TheEd,
you probably wonder how happy I am right now with my new 10k PB: 41:31! :great: It's such a great feeling to see all the effort in training becoming reality.
It was a great race. Very nice weather, good spot at the start line and feeling very confident. The only problem was finishing together with the 5k "racers" who were walking at that time. Very crowded last km and I bumped into a big guy, lost my breath for a few seconds but got back again.
The splits are approximated. I tested using manual splits with my watch but it didn't work during the race. So I ran just checking the total time. It wasn't a big deal since I've kind of learned how fast I am and had memorized the splits (for a 41:50 goal).
