Pulled out the win at the Spring Ahead 10k this morning in 33:48 .
The leader opened a bit of a gap at 1k. I couldn't respond immediately, but I slowly accelerated the pace to maintain contact. There were a number of rolling hills and the pace was a bit slow again at 5-6 km. However, I really drew close when he died on a hill past 7km, and I finally reeled him in at 8km. I threw down a 3:08 km (5:02 mile pace) to make sure he didn't come back at me. I won by 18 seconds.
I think the course was a bit long (100-150m gap between the 9km marker and the "1k to go" marker), but I'm still happy with the race, so it's an unofficial PR and there was still some left in the tank.
