Start of a big week

Some analysis from yesterday's race. Here are the splits with last years times in brackets:

Mile 1 5:09 (5:09)
Mile 2 5:24 (5:30)
Mile 3 5:24 (5:24)
Mile 4 5:27 (5:22)
Mile 5 5:31 26:55 (5:28) (26:53)
Mile 6 5:18 (5:11)
Mile 7 5:18 (5:20)
Mile 8 5:17 (5:15)
Mile 9 5:26 (5:22)
Mile 10 5:19 26:38 (5:19) (26:27)

Total 53:33 (53:20)

Basically very similar. I forgot to mention I also managed to retain my county 10 mile title as the first 2 runners were not Galway based, plus GCH won the county team title. So more medals for the kids to play with!

Today was an easy recovery run around my 11.3km route. I felt surprisingly good after the run/beer clocking 45:47 (4:03's).
