Pre-race routine:

Geez, it's been 14 months since my last official race. My pre-race routine was just trying to see if I could finish the stupid 5K. I hadn't really trained much outside of some long runs over the Thanksgiving holiday and my normal spin, swimming regiment. Got to Chatsfield and ate a bananna. Then saw Cogirl and she made me do Dills Drills and even a warm up run. Which is just nuts to me! :)

Event warmup:

Dills Drills. Sprints. Run

Run

44m
3.16 miles
13m 55s min/mile

Comments:

This was a tester run for me. As I said I haven't done a race in more than a year. But I also didn't feel super tired at the end which tells me I didn't push it enough. I got to start doing sprints in races to get me to run faster.

What would you do differently?:

Push my pace more. I had plenty left in the tank which makes me a little upset that I didn't sprint. I sprinted at the end and felt good. I could have started my push a 1/2 mile back. But then I didn't know how long the course was and didn't know if I would have enough gas.

Warm down:

Talking to Bters. Met triathlon fun. He's cool. Saw Cogirl of course and Dills and Shannon.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Ummm, I'm slow???

Event comments:

Overall a good race and I can tell it's going to be a great series.
