Today was a great running day. I ran with the CU team, and we did "the tank", a course signified by a large water tank at five miles into the run. The whole team split up as the run progressed, based on ability and how good each particular runner was feeling. The few runners up front were hitting 5:40 mile clips, and did so for 20 miles. There were other runners, however, who only ran 11 miles and averaged closer to 6:30 miles. I ran 15.3 miles (a bit farther than what the average runner on the team ran) and did so in 1:34. This averages out pretty close to a 6:00 mile pace, so I was pretty happy with the effort. There is a lot of variation on this team. While some runners are very strong, I feel that I can hold my own with the majority of the team, possibly even beat some of the slower runners. It is kind of frusturating to recognize this and still not be on the team, but I'll get my chance. |
