Comments:

The race started and my legs felt good from go. There was no "warm-up" time needed. I felt I could have pushed my legs faster but my lungs weren't allowing it. I couldn't get into a rythm where I was comfortable. Either way, I pushed through all the rollers and tried to maintain pace and used the down hills for some free speed. Hind sight is always 20/20 and I generally feel after most races I could have pushed it a little more. Although, at the time I don't think I could have.
What would you do differently?:

Not much if anything.
Post race
Warm down:

Waited for a bus. Was going to run an additional 4 miles but was given the option of breakfast or run..well duh! Food please!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Training for ING and really keeping my long run mileage up and not giving myself time to rest. I've continued on with my long runs since Richmond and didn't lower the mileage after. To get good at racing you need to race..it's hard to do that when you have long runs scheduled every weekend. :)

Holy Cow! What an improvement from the same track last year! Just amazing. I like the fact that you PR'd even without optimum 'feel good' conditions. That is what it's all about. Well, that and pizza too.

H.


Great run. Great race.

Great race, Amy! It was great seeing you at a race again. It's been a while. I heard you coughintg at the beginning. You did a fantastic job running through that mess! a PR is a PR, and especially sweet in the middle of training for something else.
