Franklin Classic 10K

This morning's Franklin Classic 10K went well. Although I didn't win or even place in my age group, I'm pleased with my results.

Run (I’m pretty sure the mile markers were a bit off, because although I split at every one, some on my Garmin are over or under a mile:
  • Totals: 53:08 (race time: 46:36; PR); 6.17 miles; 8:36 pace; 752 calories; 159 HR; 198 max HR
  • Warm up: 11:43; 0.67 miles; 17:34 pace; 91 HR
  • Mile 1: Unfortunately, I missed most of the first mile. But I hit mile 2 at 14:50 on the clock, so subtracting would make this mile about 7:10.
  • Mile 2: 7:30; 7:22 pace; 178 HR; 5:39 best pace
  • Mile 3: 8:04; 7:41 pace; 180 HR; 6:49 best pace
  • Mile 4: 7:17; 7:36 pace; 176 HR; 6:48 best pace
  • Mile 5: 7:32; 7:33 pace; 6:58 best pace; 178 HR
  • Mile 6.2: 8:59; 7:22 pace; 194 HR; 5:34 best pace
  • Cool down: 16+ minutes (lots of paused time); 0.69 miles; 23:49 pace; 114 HR
  • It was 66° and humid at the 7:30am start. Way hotter and more humid at the finish.
  • The course is very hilly.
  • Fastest male:
  • Fastest female: 39:25
This is significantly better than my last 10K:

  • Overall place: 74 of 439; 116/896
  • Age group place: 2 of 58; 5/59
  • The course is pretty flat (through Metrocenter business park and on the Shelby Greenway for a mile or two); the course is very hilly (down Del Rio, across 96 on Carlisle and Boyd Mill, and then back into town).
  • Fastest male: 32:19 (5:13 pace); 32:54 (5:19 pace)
  • Fastest female: 36:56 (5:58 pace); 39:25 (6:22 pace)
I spent most of the afternoon at Farkases' (after working a little at MFY), playing games with Lauren and making dessert.

All the necessary ingredients...and the chef

We played some speed, ate grilled steak for dinner, worked on my wheel, and then watched Wipeout with Marables while eating banana pudding and Publix ice cream. Mmmmm!

Lauren making the pudding look presentable
