Felt good on the run.

All went well

Have acheived a goal - avg 22 mph or better in a race. Felt strong on the bike, especially on the hills. Could be due to the high spinning workouts I've been doing on the trainer.

Disappointed I didn't keep it under 7 mins/mile pace, but like I said, I seem to have lost run speed somewhere along the way. Maybe it's because I haven't run any 5Ks yet this year, maybe it's my hamstring, or maybe I'm just getting slower. Need to keep and eye on that.

This was the best weather we've ever had for this race. Not a cloud in the sky and very little wind. My hammy didn't seem to bother me but perhaps it contributed to the run speed today. I'm actually analyzing all possible contributing factors: No taper (it's a "C"race) wine at dinner last night, up 7 times between 11:30 pm and 3 pm with a fussy 8-month-old (that's when I should have been slugging the wine!) Interestingly, I shaved almost 3 minutes off last year's race when I took a 2nd, and this year I land a 4th. It just shows to go ya, you never know who is going to show up at these things.
