Race: 3.08M - 21:21.5 - 6:46.3, 7:16.7, 6:50.6, 0:27.9 - I went out faster than I intended and suffered a bit in mile two because of that. Good enough for 1st place in my age group and a pint glass with "Award Winner" printed on it. Obviously, a competitive field and I'm happy with the result. The time was where I expected to finish.

WU: 0.50M at the house, 0.50M + 4 x 100m + 0.25M at the race.
Race: 13:13 - I messed up starting my watch but I did negative split. It has me at 6:38 and 6:28. Which sounds right since I also screwed up stopping my watch at the end too.
CD: 1M 9:45M

The pace over the first mile felt good. I was pushing but wanted to use smart tactics. I locked into a couple people I knew are fast and focused in being relaxed and keeping my form together. At the end I was pretty maxed out over the last 800. I just made sure I caught people and passed. I felt that if I pushed harder my legs wouldn't have kept up and I would have bit the dust. I take that as a good sign since in the past my breathing was always what felt weak at the end.

The last push started at 6:28 pace and ended at 5:15 pace. I ended up 21st overall and 3rd for the age group. The first place guy was my age and  finished in 11:16.

I'm not happy about missing my workout. It just got lost with my stomach feeling bad. Do you think it makes sense for me to switch the scheduled workout for today with the one from last Thursday? 5 x 1K instead of 6 x 400m?

Overall last week was good. My workouts were hard because they were a little longer but I felt great after doing them. I did both at tracks. The 1K repeats were at a regular asphalt track in flats. The 400m repeats were on a proper track with spikes.

Thursday I struggled to do 2M because I was really tired. Saturday I did an easy 3M because I was restless. Sunday I was restless so I did my AM run then went and did the PM workout 2 hours later at noon. My Achilles are a little sore up through my Soleus. Not bad, but I can tell I worked hard yesterday.
