Race: Draper Days (3.11 Miles) 00:17:32

Total Distance

9.00

Oof. I had predicted a 17:30 for myself going in so it's not too shocking. I actually felt worse today than I was anticipating but I may be in better shape than I gave myself credit for, if that makes sense.

I had a terrible allergic reaction last night and woke up feeling terrible. I had really worked on my legs the last few days and my hamstring at least felt much better, however I needed a substantial warmup and I only ran about 1 mile.

I didn't feel flat or anything, it was more that I was in agony. My whole body was burning from lack of oxygen from about the 200meter mark onwards. Also my lungs and heart where stuck in first gear. I could tell that my pulse and breathing rate where staying low and that contributed to my oxygen debt. I still had splits of 5:19 and 5:35, but then a pretty sucky 6:35 or so for the last 1.1. Anyway, it's not a disaster but I was kind of bummed because it was a good field and I wasn't really able to compete at all.

You've been having some weird health problems since you got married... Sure you are not pregnant? :-)

you know, you are really good at predicting how things are going to go. at least you were honest with yourself and didn't stubbornly try to force a race that wasn't happening. you knew it wasn't going to be your day but you sucked it up and ran anyway. i probably wouldn't have even started the race, so i admire the fact that you ran and took the outcome matter-of-factly rather than letting it rattle you.

tuesday is a different day and des news is a different beast. i think if you run with patience and just let the race play out, you will have the strength and the course know-how to really mix things up and run well. i believe in you. LOLzz. seriously though.

Under the circumstances you ran quite well. I hope you are able to get a great race in at Des News. Good luck.
