Run
Comments: Started out quick, not hard, not fast, just quick. I didn't feel smooth at all - kind of 'clumpy' - just not smooth is the best way to explain it. Went through mile 1 around 6:02 - asked another runner near me - turns out later he is a BT member - Mike Q - I trailed Mike for the rest of the race - lead woman was up ahead, but couldn't reel her in. Went through 2 miles at 12:08 and decided then I would go under 19 and maybe even 18:50 if I could keep the pace up. Mile 2-3 has more turns than any other part of the course - so its slows you a little. I hit mile 3 at 18:16 so good pacing on the day and there were a bunch of us (3 or 4) closing in on the finish line at once - I dug deep but I can tell my legs are still glycogen depleted from the 2.5 hour run on Tuesday. Even yesterday during the 4x100m I did, I had to work hard and I wasn't moving very quickly - so I just pushed hard, but I stayed where I was - and finshed behind the pack. Mojo was solid, pacing was excellent. I think Amy (timer) was a little slow on the trigger - I never saw 18:48 on the clock - but she had me for 18:50 - so I am sure I was under that - oh well - 3 secs don't matter but if you work hard, you should get your actual time right? ;-) What would you do differently?: Nothing - stretch the groin more - still tender and stiff from Tuesday's run. Post race
Warm down: Ran 12 minutes with Mel around the block - Mel ran 21:xx and won the 35-30 F. I keep telling her she should actually train, she might just see how good she can be. ;-) What limited your ability to perform faster: Nothing. I went as hard as I could the entire time.
