Well, this was highly unex­pected. I thought I was still under­trained — I had just fin­ished a half marathon five days ago with not-so-great results, so I didn’t have any par­tic­u­lar expec­ta­tions for this race.

I would have con­sid­ered it a mir­a­cle to start at 4:00 pace and then settle into 3:56. But at the start, I saw a runner I had fin­ished with a year ago and decided to draft behind him. I ran much faster than planned, but not for a minute did I feel the suf­fer­ing that usu­ally comes with a 10K. At the sev­enth kilo­me­ter, I moved behind some woman, and we over­took the guy who had pulled me through those first six or seven kilo­me­ters.

Felt fresh and sat­is­fied at the finish.
