Hi Ed!
I raced today, course was 10.54km and a bit wet & slippery.
I finished 8'th out of 163 participants in 44m:04s. That's a pace of 4.10/km and managed to beat my last year's time by 1m:10s, so I feel pretty good overall .
I don't know what happened but pulse was very high right from the start and it wasn't a spike. It was 180bpm after a mere 200 meters and stayed high for the entire race. Average bpm was 183 with a max bpm of 190. I was in Z5 99% of the time. I believe I also started way too fast.
I sent you a PM with the Garmin activity. Take a look over it if you have a couple of minutes .
