Run
Comments: Decided to run both races (10k and 5k) back to back as part of my marathon training. Felt pretty good after the 10k so I figured I would run comfortably hard for the 5k. Felt good first mile, then started purping up the Pumpkin beer I had between races. Ummmmmm pumpkin beer burps. After mile 2 my legs realized I just raced a 10k a few minutes earlier. Not even close to a PR but won my age group (but didn't realize it until I got home). Pace was barely faster than the 10k (legs were kinda stuck in the 10k race pace groove). What would you do differently?: Not race a 10k before and "maybe" skip the pumpkin beer between races. Post race
Warm down: More pizza and pumkin beer. Event comments: Good course but the field was thin as most of the fast folks didn't double up and only ran the 10k. Free pizza, free beer, PR in the 10k and won my AG in the 5k. Good day! Last updated: 2009-09-28 12:00 AM
