Not happy with the race, looking back it felt WAY too easy. I slowly passed runners that I am a lot faster than, I could have run another mile at this pace easy. The only hard parts were the hay bales where I felt like I couldn't breathe going over and they hurt, but the rest was too easy, I don't like this course because there's no where to kick, it was too far away to do much of a kick before the 3 hay bales and after that you have to prepare for the gauntlet and after that you have to prepare to hand off so the result was I didn't really kick. I passed 4 teams but it should have been more, I am very motivated to go run a fast 5k at the next race, I'm determined and hungry, I want success. I'm going to go hard the next time I race, its too easy to run slow when I go out conservatively in races. I need to go at a 5:10 for the first mile of a race like pre-region, I want to stick with people I should be sticking with and beating them. I should be running with all the guys I was running with in track, and will be running with in track this spring. I know I have the ability, I know I have the speed, and I put in the mileage, I need to start racing like it. After I got home I did 4.25 miles, a 400 in 60 seconds in the middle of the run. Adam Jensen did awesome today, 5th overall I think! And Cubby did good too, our team did well as a whole so I was happy about that.
