Run
Comments: Everything about the race went smoothly - ate more than last time, drank enough (but not too much), had the right shoes (who knew Reebok could do running shoes now?), breathing was fine, no major injuries (just a blister and some chafing), and a finishing time 9 minutes faster than last time! I didn't really think I'd do that well - I was really happy. I still remember doing my first 5k in about 33 minutes, wondering if I'd ever get a 30-minute time. Little did I know, I'd not only get it (my best time is actually about 28), but then keep going for 10 more miles! What would you do differently?: Get in a few runs longer than 13 miles before the race. Even or negative splits - I should probably eat even more so I don't slow down. Post race
Warm down: Walked steadily for at least 10 minutes What limited your ability to perform faster: Lack of energy about 3/4 through - probably need more calories. Could have done more long runs. Event comments: Yay for Vertical Horizon on the Beach Stage! Last updated: 2006-06-08 12:00 AM
