Running race 35:15 [5] 6.2 mi (5:41 / mi)
shoes: Asics Gel-DS Racer VII
Askern 10k. Terrible, terrible race. Got stuck at work and had a mad rush to get to the race and made it with about 15 minutes to spare. Started off too fast and ran the first k in 3.07 and 3k in just over 10. Then started to slow and lost heart a bit when I went through 5k in 17.08. Tried to keep pushing in the second half and was on for about 34.20, 15 sec or so off my pb. But with 200m to go I suddenly got the most excrutiatingly painful stitch and had to stop running, before walk / jogging the rest of the course.
Stitch aside, I was disappointed with how I ran. I thought the marathon fitness would have helped me get a good time. But I suppose I haven't really done any training to convert that strength into speed, and maybe it's too soon.
