Here is a\u00a0 list of my best performances at each distance this year:<\/p>\n

TC 1 Mile<\/a> 5:27\u00a0 MCQ = 39:13<\/p>\n

USATF 5000m<\/a> 19:51MCQ = 41:14<\/p>\n

Human Race 8k<\/a> 31:27 MCQ = 39:38<\/p>\n

Get in Gear 10k<\/a> 41:30 MCQ = 41:30<\/p>\n

MDRA 15k<\/a> 1:03:24 MCQ = 40:55<\/p>\n

Rochester Half-Marathon<\/a> 1:33:22\u00a0 MCQ = 41:58<\/p>\n

City of Lakes 25k<\/a> 1:48:40\u00a0 MCQ = 40:34<\/p>\n

Twin Cities Marathon<\/a> 3:25:43\u00a0 MCQ = 43:41<\/p>\n

Based on how I felt during and after the race I’m going to say it is between the MDRA 15k and City of Lakes 25k.\u00a0 City of Lakes was an average pace of 6:59 while the MDRA 15k was a 6:48 pace. The number next to the finish time above is the McMillian Calculator<\/a>‘s 10k equivalent.<\/p>\n

I would have picked City of Lakes as my best performance of 2008 but according the the somewhat scientific method of McMillian the TC 1 Mile was my best overall performance, then the 8k, then City of Lakes.<\/p>\n

I know that using McMillian’s calculator isn’t neccessarily the most precise way to figure this out.\u00a0 Do you have a better method?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
