Splits

Just checked out my splits from Sunday on my Garmin...I accidentally hit start at the gun instead of when I crossed the actual starting line, so my first mile was off (though it was definitely slow...over 8/mile), but the rest were pretty close to being exact miles. I don't think I've ever been so consistent in my life! Mile 11 was definitely when I slowed down after choking on my water (oops!), but I'm happy I was able to drop back down to close to 7's for the last two. The competitor inside me is now wondering if, with a little speed work and a faster first three miles, I could hold 6:52's and break 1:30...

Mile 1: ~8:20
Mile 2: 7:17
Mile 3: 7:12
Mile 4: 7:07
Mile 5: 7:01
Mile 6: 6:59
Mile 7: 6:56
Mile 8: 7:04
Mile 9: 7:00
Mile 10: 7:08
Mile 11: 7:20
Mile 12: 7:06
Mile 13: 7:08
