Run
Comments: Only a handful of people passed me this time! And I made them WORK to pass me. Ran the small hills perfectly (stride down, quick turnover/lean forward going up). I know that I'm still slow, compared to the group of people I'm racing with, but for me I SMOKED this run! (Updated with official time/rank.) When I first finished, I was pretty excited about my PR, and was hoping that I did better in my age group. It's a bit of a letdown to find out that I was LAST, and the 4 guys that beat me are all ELITE TRIATHLETES, who showed up on a lark... :( What would you do differently?: Not a damn thing! I should just keep getting faster with time. Post race
Warm down: Walked off about 1/4 mile, after rooting in the last runners. Hydrated well, got some food. My sinuses were driving me NUTS! I can always tell when I've really pushed a run, as I sneeze for like 15 minutes... What limited your ability to perform faster: My relative newness to all of this. Event comments: This was the last of the summer series. The overall winner got a trip to the R&R Marathon in Arizona in January. I found out I actually won my age group at the 4th race (in the series, my 1st), and got a cool Hind T-Shirt. This will be nice when it starts to cool down some. Last updated: 2004-08-16 12:00 AM
