Run
Comments: I know my heart was beatin' too fast half way through. I knew 2 of the people in the race that would run my goal time through 2. I was killing them for the first half. Then they past me. They ran the race I should have run for the first 2 miles. From there I could have opened it up. results: http://results.active.com/pages/displayNonGru.jsp?rsID=75546&orgID=... What would you do differently?: Pace. Pace. Pace. Post race
Warm down: I normally run a mile BUT it was the Arnold Expo and we had limited time. So I walked around the fitness expo for an hour. I did run a quarter mile or so to my bike and ride home. What limited your ability to perform faster: I need to incorporate some more high quality workouts in my training. (rather than just running from point a to b) Again- I lose focus during the race. Event comments: The cost of this race is high but it is a motivator to lift, you get in the expo free, Arnold starts the race, it is a pleasant race with participants interacting with each other more than other races.
