Subject: When is a win not a win?When you forget your timing chip. It's been so long since I've used a D-tag I left it on the bed. OK, so my plan for this morning was to to do a bike time trial and maybe a 5k. They were both within 3 blocks of my house. I did the time trial, which went well for the first one of the year. Then I walked the bike over to the 5k registration, registered, and realized I had 10 minutes to get home, change, and get back. In the frenzy I left the D-Tag on the bed. I figured it wasn't a big deal, I was running to support the charity more than expecting to have a good race after the TT. I ran really well, and afterwards when I checked times found my clock time was 6 seconds under the M 50-54 winning time. Sigh, time for coffee and a shower. And honestly, I'm not that upset, I pretty happy now knowing what I can do, which is what's really important. And I did a TT and 5k this morning! |
