The first 1km lap was just under 3:30. I then slowed down a bit, but this was probably because the course ascended a bit (see the elevation graph below).  There were still some ups and downs, but I kept the intended pace until the 4km point.  Then the course gradually descended, so I naturally speeded up while I basically simply tried to keep the same 3:30\/km pace.  My plan was to spurt up the final 2-300m, but the course was actually a bit shorter than I expected.<\/p>\n<p>I was in the 8th place overall.  The official time was 22:58 (it was 23:00 on my watch), which was actually a little faster than I originally thought, but I suspect the distance was also a bit shorter than it should be (4.2mi).  So, I was not particularly good or bad this time.  If there&#8217;s something I made in this particular race, it would be that I made my pace by myself (on the other hand, I was in a group or followed another fast guy at Juana Run).<\/p>\n<p>The following are my usual logs of running: course and lap times on a map, and pace x elevation graphs based on GPS records:<\/p>\n\r\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n\/\/<![CDATA[\r\n\tshowToggleLinkEn();\r\n\tshowMap('<div class=\"gmap\" id=\"map2\" style=\"width: 490px; height: 300px\"><\/div>');\r\n\r\n\tvar points = [];\r\n\tvar iconhead = '\/image\/gmapicons\/';\r\n\r\n\tpoints.push({\r\n\t\tlat: 37.2156388, lng: -121.8425413, desc: 'Start',\r\n\t\ticonUrl: iconhead + 'iconb.png'\r\n\t});\r\n\tpoints.push({\r\n\t\tlat: 37.2120830, lng: -121.8336908, desc: '1km (lap 3:29)',\r\n\t\ticonUrl: iconhead + 'iconb1.png'\r\n\t});\r\n\tpoints.push({\r\n\t\tlat: 37.2079781, lng: -121.8250425, desc: '2km (lap 3:36)',\r\n\t\ticonUrl: iconhead + 'iconb2.png'\r\n\t});\r\n\tpoints.push({\r\n\t\tlat: 37.2038708, lng: -121.8313019, desc: '3km (lap 3:30)',\r\n\t\ticonUrl: iconhead + 'iconb3.png'\r\n\t});\r\n\tpoints.push({\r\n\t\tlat: 37.2048926, lng: -121.8377654, desc: '4km (lap 3:32)',\r\n\t\ticonUrl: iconhead + 'iconb4.png'\r\n\t});\r\n\tpoints.push({\r\n\t\tlat: 37.2077827, lng: -121.8329278, desc: '5km (lap 3:25)',\r\n\t\ticonUrl: iconhead + 'iconb5.png'\r\n\t});\r\n\tpoints.push({\r\n\t\tlat: 37.2127199, lng: -121.8389191, desc: '6km (lap 3:27)',\r\n\t\ticonUrl: iconhead + 'iconb6.png'\r\n\t});\r\n\tpoints.push({\r\n\t\tlat: 37.2149702, lng: -121.8437257, desc: 'Goal (6.64km, 23:00)',\r\n\t\ticonUrl: iconhead + 'iconr.png'\r\n\t});\r\n\r\n\tvar map = drawMapMarkers(\"map2\", points);\r\n\t\/\/var map = drawMapMarkers(\"map2\", points, 10); \/\/zoom level\u6307\u5b9a\r\n\t\/\/var map = drawMapMarkers(\"map2\", points, 0, -1); \/\/zoom level\u8abf\u6574\r\n\r\n\t\/\/var waypoints = [\r\n\t\/\/\t{\"lat\": 37.531033, \"lng\": -122.36407},\r\n\t\/\/\t{\"lat\": 37.587075, \"lng\": -122.411501}];\r\n\t\/\/drawRoutes(map, waypoints);\r\n\r\n\t\/\/KML file\u304c\u3042\u308b\u5834\u5408\r\n\tvar gx = new GGeoXml('https:\/\/www.jinmei.org\/kml\/2009-0425-run.kml');\r\n    \tmap.addOverlay(gx);\r\n\/\/]]>\r\n<\/script>\r\n\n<p class=\"mainimage\">\n  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/image\/20090425\/run.png\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<\/p>\n<p>Overall results (top 30).
