34k passed. 35k. 36k. I forced my legs to keep going, enforced positive self-coaching. I knew that at some point, I would regain power. My pace dropped from around 5’51” to around 6’51”; this was a 3/10 pace with a 9/10 effort. It was alright.
Remember when I said “I would tag along” when the pacers caught up? That plan was good - except I couldn’t keep up with them.
I accepted I would probably not beat my own PR as I had expected to do.

Around 37k, there was @coachbennett@mastodon.online in the crowd!!! When I met him at the #CPH42 expo, he said he would be around this place on the course. As many of you know, he is one of my heroes, so I was looking out for him; I could use his support. What I got was a smile, a high-five, and words of wisdom: “You’re doing great, babe!” Not sure about the babe thing, but I took what I could get. Thank you, Coach. 38k. 39k. 40k. Still running; getting there. 15/x #MastoRunDK #running #EveryRunHasAPurpose
