Summer Roundup Trail Run 12K - RunOther

Tired legs this morning - rode the USAFA loop a little harder than I probably should have...This wasn't a focus race and I wanted to keep myself in check. I put out good effort and was happy with that. I was scared that I'd get chicked in the end so I dropped the hammer with 3/4 mile to go. I was 2-5 beats per minute above threshold for most of the race.

I should have popped a gel during the mid point of the race or had a better pre-race meal by mile 6 I was gassed and I let a guy get by me.

A couple miles more just for training than warming down - I wanted to run on really tired legs


Training volume - lack of real rest day - nutrition


this is the weak sister of the triple crown. The Garden of Gods 10 miler was huge and the competition was excellent. This is a local race. Fun, organized, love the T-shirt (legit New Balance technical T-shirt), looking forward to the Ascent!!! I can't rate a race above average with out a little brewskie at the end. But depending on the schedule for next year, I'd do it again.
