Well, this was not my best race. I went out fast, on target for another BQ time, but I started to slow down past the half. Still, I was feeling okay until I got to the Newton hills, at which point my right abductor muscle strained, and I could not run. I pulled over, stretched it out, and kept climbing. After a few minutes, it seized again, so I stopped and stretched. It was run-walk all the way home, and the stopping broke my momentum.

I am really grateful for the opportunity to race yesterday, and I feel confident for solid training this coming summer. God, You are great, and I will worship You!
