Comments:

Had been really frustrated with this season since my best time of the year was 26:20 back at the very first event of the season. Really wanted to leave it all on the track tonight. Concentrated on keeping my low speed around 22mph and 28mph on the odd laps and 21mp/26mph on the even laps. Wasn't quite ready to puke when I finished so I could have done a little better :)

Overall, much happier with this race. Really pounded out the last backstretch and pit road. Hit 31mph on the tail end of the backstretch.
What would you do differently?:

Go even harder :)

Me

Event comments:

Was really expecting a bad night. I did my 2nd longest run ever on Mon, 11.2 miles, then had less than 3 hrs of sleep including a nap. Maybe I need to race on less sleep more often :)
