so after staying up some of the night with food poisoning or whatever you call it, we went to the race. during the warm up i felt very good and confident. all positive thoughts and knew i could run hard.
the beginning was bad because i was so far back in our line, so i had to push my way through everyone and near the top of the first k i was in pretty good position. i started to settle throughout this next k, which was my biggest mistake through the race, then after some kid tripped another kid i got some surge and started passing people again. My first mile was 5:05, then second was 10:27. Coming around the lake i was running with the AF's 6th and 7th runners and the 6th guy started to pull ahead, so i went with him and on the last straight tried to keep right with him. the last 100 meters there was a pack of about 6 people and i fell behind all of them but one..... the 7th AF guy. so i need to work on my kick, and i still need to learn to the next level of running through the pain, cause i still feel i can go faster if i pushed past it. I finished 2nd on our team, and Team finished 8th overall, (we were ranked to get 25)
Good week, Good Race. Now look forward to the Race in California |
