Well I set out to do the 10k under 55 mins on Wednesday morning. Got up, sipped a little water and headed out at 6.am.
Weather was a bit cold but felt good nonetheless. Started out really fast with a 5.20 pace per km. Funny thing is I actually maintained that pace for the first 25 minutes or so before I started fading.
I did try one last push at the 45 minute mark but my legs were already done for then. Still feeling a little pain in my right knee till now.
All in all when I stopped it at the 10km mark (about a km away from home), I wasn't too disappointed with the time. It was superquick by my standards. The only thing I may be disappointed with is perhaps my execution...maybe I'd have done better if I didn't start out too fast? Maybe not.
