Tune up Race

22 Oct was scheduled for tune-up race.
However, it is hard to find a race happen on Saturday in Pg (or M'sia), so I run a 10k with time recorded.
It clocked 42:50.

I started the run too fast. the first 2km at 4:00min/km.
The rest of the distance ran at about 4:30min/km.
After the 2kms fatigue came and it brought me to slow down.
This experience is good.
Start slow, then pick up gradually.

I wonder if I start slow, will I still able to achieve time?
There's some choice for me next time.
Take the example for this time timing, 42:50
1. Run at constant speed at 4:17km/min
2. Start slow finish strong
1st 5k - 4:30 pace
2nd 5k - 4:10 pace
That would make a 43:18

Still need a lot of practice and experience on racing strategies.
