Springtime Tallahassee 10K 2012

Stephen ran in the Springtime Tallahassee 10K today. Jacob had to sit this one out due to a high fever and earache. At the halfway mark (5K) Stephen was in 10th place in 18:47. He gradually moved up into 9th place by the 5 mile mark trying to overtake Jason Fulghum of Tallahassee. Between the 5 mile mark and the end of the race Stephen was able to overtake Fulghum and finish in 8th place with a time of 36:51. His second half (5K) time was 18:04. A negative 10K split. His average mile pace was 5:56.

Much thanks to Coach Kenney for all the time he has spent to help Stephen learn to pace himself. The idea of Stephen running a negative split in any length race prior to Coach Kenney was almost unthinkable. Now Stephen has done it in a 10K and a 3200 meter race(5:24/4:58) on back to back weekends.  You can view the results of the 10K at http://www.eventtiming.com/races/springtime122.txt
