The chip time

Well, the results have already been posted. So soon!

Apparently, I really lost track of the time near the end. I finished the race in a blazing 39:02. That’s a pace of 7:49 per kilometre.

Yeah, that’s quite slow–but in the expected range for my running history. So what can I do better?

1. I shouldn’t eat heavily the day before the race. I made that mistake.
2. It’s only 5K–I can probably go without the water belt.
3. I should pace myself better! Maybe it was a case of too much, too fast.
4. Losing weight will probably help move faster.
5. Breathing should have been more controlled.

I’m ready to do better.
