LSD 17 miles with pace 7:53.

It's very interesting that I ran twice today, and both pace was 7:53.

Planned to run earlier, but it was too dark. So I started first run around
6:37am, finished around 7:32. Here are the splits:

Split	Time	Distance	Avg Pace
Summary	55:08.9	7.01	7:52
1	8:39.9	1.00	8:40
2	8:03.9	1.00	8:04
3	7:48.4	1.00	7:48
4	7:48.7	1.00	7:49
5	7:36.4	1.00	7:36
6	7:30.1	1.00	7:30
7	7:37.4	1.00	7:37
8	:04.2	0.01	6:05

I started the 2nd one around 8:26. Here are the splits:

Split	Time	Distance	Avg Pace
Summary	1:18:57.4	10.01	7:53
1	8:18.9	1.00	8:19
2	7:43.6	1.00	7:44
3	7:48.9	1.00	7:49
4	7:49.1	1.00	7:49
5	7:45.6	1.00	7:46
6	7:45.6	1.00	7:46
7	7:50.0	1.00	7:50
8	7:51.2	1.00	7:51
9	7:57.3	1.00	7:57
10	8:04.9	1.00	8:05
11	:02.2	0.01	6:38

I tried to find out which one is the easy one. Run easy 

first, then catch up the pace; or faster at the beginning?

I took one gel during the break. I should take another

one after mile 6th. Should do better next time.

My plan for the race, slow for the first two miles, follow 

the pacer till mile 6th. Then run faster after that.

Still control the speed till mile 20th. Then faster till the 

end. Hopefully I can do that. Need practice that strategy.
