Departure the race was scheduled to 19h. Suffice to say that I spent all aprem in circles at home!
After checking three or four times that I had forgotten anything I am directed to Aytré.
I got there at 18:10 and I am surprised to see many riders romp about an hour before the start! I quickly erased that thought benoite to tell me that these riders would probably prepare a marathon, and they make the semi ( there were a choice and a semi 7 KM) a thorough workout.
After I put in place, an issue I worked and if I ran with my heart? It would be ideal to monitor my pace? I decided to do my cardio warm-up company to decide.
5 minutes later the decision was taken, the heart would follow the race ... wisely stowed in my car, I do not feel "free" with him, and then somehow it is not encrypted!
After warming up, I am lined up behind the line at 18:55, and as often taken by an urge to go, I went to relieve myself at 6:58 p.m.!
Waiting in the starting line, this time or we burn with impatience, like a bull waiting to get in fury arenas ( well that, unlike the bull our life is not really at risk ) would nevertheless continue, since the start was delayed 15 minutes due to the abundance of latecomers to the registration.
Once the race started, and to remain in the animal vocabulary, I tried not to leave a greyhound for not grilling me stupidly ( mistake a month ago on 10 km). Unfortunately I could not measure the effectiveness of my moderation, since the first kilometer was not subject to marking! Too bad!

The first 4 km were wonderfully chained , sensations were good. A sweet sense of harmony inhabited me while I passed some riders.
Things started to go wrong with the approach of the 4th kilometer, a certain esouffrance started to win me, but I think this passage is mandatory when you run a certain intensity! However, to mitigate for these tough races, I think I'll split more along the next time ( series example 2000m).
So I pushed the vehicle from the 4th, my body showed its displeasure with breathing became increasingly noisy and a stride that seemed more irregular.

After a last lap ( I always enjoy the arrival on the tracks, the fact of arriving in a stadium, it gives a sense of glory! ), I reached the finish in 26min55 This corresponds to an average of about 3'50 kilometer ( 15.6 km / h ).
In the manner of a professional club leader, I can only rejoice in the "balance sheet" of this day, in fact, as was hoped, I managed to keep a pace 0.6 km / h faster than my previous best performance (39'55 to 10k a month ago ). Now I can set new goals binary: 1 Hold this pace for other distances of 2 Try to always go faster.
After drinking several glasses of water and coca, I headed to my car to return home quickly. Hop a shower, a dish of lasagna and I'm left in 3rd gear on my bike for the 8 km swallow me that separate me Aytré to attend the awards ceremony.
At least I did not move for anything, I was pleased to discover that I was ranked 1st in hope! Good said this is not so hard, given the small contingent of runners this age (between 19 and 22 years). In overall I'm 18th out of 250.
I had the pleasure to climb the top step of the podium, I received a cup and a watch, veni vidi vici ! The smile from ear to ear, I left on my trusty mountain bike, avoiding the drops ( it rained tons of water, but not during my race or during my round trip by bike! )

Now I must choose my next race, yet the 14km Laleu holds the rope!
