So the week after the OKC half marathon and I'm trying to get all my injuries healed up. The IT band, hip flexor, or whatever is starting to feel like I am getting over it. I am going to skip the RiverRun this weekend in Wichita just to be sure that I am back at 100% before I run another race.
So as embarrasing as they may be, here are my splits for the OKC half: (keep in mind that I stopped to stretch at about 11.5 with a calf cramp or injury (all I know is it hurt badly). Ok enough excuses here they are:
mile 1: 9:45
mile 2: 9:39
mile 3: 9:23
mile 4: 9:15
mile 5: 9:22
mile 6: 9:27
mile 7: 9:24
mile 8: 9:25
mile 9: 9:48
mile 10: 9:47
mile 11: 10:14 ouch!!
mile 12: 10:25
mile 13: 10:53
So as you can see, the injury in mile 11 really got to me. Oh well! I finished running not walking, that's a good thing....
some pics to come of my half in the next day or so so stay tuned.......

Seriously, those are great splits! The last time I ran a half my splits looked something like 9:09-9:15 for the first 7 miles and then 10:10-10:20 for every mile after that. You could completely tell where I hit the wall in that race. I don't even want to know what my splits were in OKC. Congrats on running a great half and I hope your IT band/hip gets better soon!
ReplyDeleteWay to keep going Adam! I'm sure that wind didn't help either. As I looked over my splits I could tell exactly where that headwind slowed me down.
ReplyDeleteAre you feeling all better now?
