afternoon - Junction into Coral Canyon extended on the furthest road (don't know name).  Had a Tinman Tempo in mind (as best as I can tell what it is from my web research - For me the 45-60 second slower than 5K pace for extended an extended time, puts me just over marathon pace at about 6:05).  So anyway tried it... After 2.5 up to the top of ridge jumped into it.  Easily hit 1st mile with the downhill help at 5:50, but then I started to struggle.  Next half was setting me up to be about 20 seconds slower than pace and I felt it was going to get worse, so I just decided to back off and run how I felt.  Entering Coral Canyon, I realized that how I felt was a bit quicker and the watch confirmed that, so I did the next 1 1/2 back at TT pace and it felt good.  It even carried into the uphill section (of course, time didn't hold, but feeling did).  Then pushed it down other side of ridge as I thought about how I struggle at the end of races and need to be stronger and what better way to be stronger then pushing harder at the end.  So I used the downhill to turn in a 5:30 ish mile and cruised it on home.
