Threshold day. We warmed up 3 miles along rail trail before beginning the 2.9 mile threshold. First mile, I was in the middle of a pack of most of the girls. We hit 6:10 and I felt really good and knew I needed to pick it up. Ash made a move to break the group and a few of us followed. After we moved and picked up the pace then it started to get hard. By the second mile we had caught 2 girls ahead of us and kept moving. Laura, Emma and I surged again and broke away from the rest of the group and finished in a group of 3 with a 17:34. We averaged 6:04. I did a 5 mile cool down and felt pretty tired and dead during those miles. Second run I ran 5 miles. |
