Running 34:40 [3] 4.0 km (8:40 / km)
shoes: MT610CG4
I chose a pace which is the minimum vdot tracked in attackpoint, a pace that was within reach last July for the Boilermaker, 6:35/k. Of course such a pace is no longer possible for any distance since my knee hit a new low last month. Nevertheless, I chose that pace for a test on the track this evening. I ran pace for 100m and jogged rest of lap, felt good. Then I ran 200m, jogged rest of lap. On the third lap, knee gave out in consecutive strides 150m into pace run. The curve may been the issue. Hopefully I find the courage to test again. I did three more laps including attempts at 100m pace runs and then gave up.
If I can build up sone strength, I should be able to race in July. However, there's no way that I can do 15k in two hours. There is no way that I am racing in 2017. I will have to find a surgeon in August. Road racing is over!!!
