i really wanted to break 40 minutes again, but obviously fell short of that - so let's focus on the positives, shall we?
pain in the knee was absent until after mile 3 - it did show up, just later than it did in the last race
my 5K time was faster in this race than any other
um... i didn't fall?
it was a humid run for me, i haven't been running in the heat and i guess its time to start really acclimating myself - i took several walking breaks to try and manage the heart rate a little
i missed my running buddy and my ipod. between the 2nd and 3rd mile a man was sprawled out on the course, don't know if he fell or passed out, but it was a reminder that accidents happen and i think it kinda freaked me out a little. i hope he's okay, lots of runners stopped to give him help and i even saw one runner leave the course to flag down an ambulance.

dunno... pour water on my head at the first station instead of drinking it, my face was really hot for most of the race
need to get more sleep the night before these races too, i just felt tired the whole time... i had gotten up at 4AM and 7AM the day before b/c of Jorge's century, plus i worked late and waited up for him to get back, so only 5 hours sleep - way too little for miss apnea lady here

saw my friend, justin as i was coming down the finish chute, he produces at wwor w/me and knew i was running - he must have waited to see me finish b/c he runs like an 8 min/mile or something
walked to get water and my chip removed and that was about it, came home and made a huge omelet for jorge and me


humidity
fatigue


6 NYRR races down, 3 to go, the 10K is this saturday and then i'll only have 2 left! woop woop!
