 Run
Comments: Just couldn't find the groove today. This was a small race, and the competition wasn't fierce. It is a PR for me, but completely different conditions. I kinda shut it down about 2.5 miles into it, as there as NO ONE behind me at all. I did challenge the hill at the end, as I DO LOVE ME SOME HILLS! Got some good comments from the crowd for that. That's why I run Cemetery and Turkey HARD!! Good stuff. What would you do differently?: Push harder mile 3  Post race
Warm down: Cheered on incoming competitors. I didn't go hard enough. What limited your ability to perform faster: Just wasn't feeling it this morning. Crazy week leading up to it, had a bad run Thursday, so am thankful for what I was able to get on this one. Event comments: A great cause, and a fun low-key race. Bonus: PR and "hardware"!

You probably didn't get your money's worth out of that Gu Roctane! Fortunately, it was a free sample Brooke sent me last year. Used one of them at Pinehurst '08, kept the other one until yesterday. I had bad GI issues after Pinehurst, so was leery of trying it again, but it didn't bother me this time. I love that stuff but it is expensive! And don't get me wrong; I was pushing, but not 100%. If you're not puking, you're not trying. I think I saved too much for the run up the hill at the end, as I felt like I was just starting out going up that hill, barely huffing at the end. Too much left in the tank. Mile splits would've helped me hit sub 19:00, but oh well. |

Up at 6. Chocolate boost, oatmeal w/raisins, and good to go at 7am. Out the door at 8, rode the Fisher down to the race (5.25 miles). Chatted with friends for a bit, then about 8:30 decided it was time for a little warmup.
0.7 miles out, 0.7 back, with a nature break and a Roctane in the middle. 3 pickups on the return leg, felt okay. Knew this wasn't going to be a fast day from the moment I woke.
