Bohermeen half today. My PB is 1.48 (from Waterford and the race series). I thought about running this as an LSR but I suppose the competitive side to me decided to just go for it and aim for a sub 1.45. Now realistically I felt I could better my PB, but 13 x 8 min miles.... too big an ask?!? I couldn't manage 6x 8 min miles in Enniscorthy 3 weeks ago!
Anyway left hubby to entertain the 2 smallies in exciting Bohermeen and off to the start line with Nules and Shaz where I met the other Boardsies. The first few miles were fine, around 7:50 pace (would I pay for this later?). I really have to just let things go.......I analyse things to death :rolleyes: (typical woman really). Struggled miles 4-6, just felt awful, that stupid hill didn't help, the water table at mile 4 was a mess, my pants felt too tight
I think I was just having a mental block. Part of me just wanted to pack it in at the half way stage. I have these mental blocks during races were I just want to give in (happened in Enniscorthy with a mile to go! - note to self: must be more positive).
Mile 6 things picked up again, waved to the family at the half way stage and the next few miles felt great again. I probably went over 8 minute miles once during the race, a sub 1'45 was becoming a reality. Now, if I could only hold it together. Not looking forward to the hill or the miles were I was deflated in the first lap. Thankfully I was able to keep things even running wise, every time I looked at the watch the pace was sub 8 min miles. At mile 11, I had a smile on my face, I knew I could do it. Was overtaking people too in the last few miles which always helps. Last mile, breathing was laboured but my eyes were well and truly on the prize!
Sprinted for the line, watch said 13.21, time 1'44'41. My official time is 1'44'54 which I have a slight problem with. I didn't stop my garmin until I was well and truly accross the finish line just to be on the safe side, so I'm not sure where those 13 seconds went.
Anyway absolutely delighted beyond belief, a huge confidence booster for me. 0 -
