What time will i get?

Question

for xc, we are having a time trial on friday on a course of 3.0 miles

we did 2.5 miles of the course last week

my first mile was at 7:50 and the rest (1.5 miles) was at race pace

i was out of breath because i was sick and just tried to push it in

my total time was 15:40

so what kind of time should i look for on friday?

Answer 1

I would say you could probably get around 16:30

Answer 2

omg i just had a time trial too! but i got 20:37 cuz im a girl.. yea but i think u will do great and probably get around 18:15 or around there. good luck and race ur heart out! :)

Answer 3

No he's wrong, more like 18:50....

I took the pace you went at for the last 1.5 miles to calculate the last 800 and added 34 seconds for the added .1 of the 3.1.

Of course that's not completely accurate because you won't be going that slow at the beginning and you won't be able to keep up that pace you were going for the last 1.5 miles the whole race.

I'm not completely sure since I don't know your abilities or the course, but at least this should give you an idea.

We kinda did the same thing as you, we practiced over at the course we'll be running...except I ran like 5 laps of it(2 lap course) lol, I'd better do good at it since I know it so well now.
