My wife and I debuted in street races at the University of Passo Fundo, a place that marked our academic life. We started with all the anxiety of runners in their first races.

The 1st km came out at 7:17/km, the 2nd at 7:23/km, the 3rd weighed a bit and marked 7:51/km, I recovered on the 4th with 7:33/km, the final stretch was cut off on the watch, I swear it was 5km. Debut pace, heart in mouth but it made me want to repeat.

On the watch: 4.29 km in 33:23 (7:48/km). Heart rate was 146 bpm at the start and reached 162 bpm at the end (average 154 bpm).
