My shoe hit the ground and fell off and I had to go back and get it just like in Rochester.

Just run with my damn shoes and take them off when I get to T2!

  • 19m 51s
  • 2.5 miles
  • 07m 56s  min/mile
Comments:

Well, me and the guy that was pushing me both ran about 2.7 miles instead of 2.5 because they made a last second change to the course and we ran around a corner instead of through the parking lot which added some distance. For the last mile or so we were really cooking. I regret not blowing by the guy I was running with at the end but he pulled me along for 1.5 miles and really didn't think 5 seconds would make a difference and it didn't.
What would you do differently?:

Maybe start my kick right after the turn around since I felt good.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around and tried to cool down quick and then stay warm.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Weather and desire...

Event comments:

I think this race was limited by bad weather and a bad road but on a nicer day and a newly paved road this could be one of my favorites... a lot of buzz which is nice.
