Went to another race today to help get my tempo times. shooting for a 5:15 again.
got there a little late so had to warm up by myself for 1.5 miles. tommy from snow canyon was there, and a couple DH kids.
someone started the race and we roughly got out. i stayed in the top 5 for the first mile and just tried to stay on pace. 60% of this race seemed to be uphill so i thought i'd end a little off pace. after a bit it was only me, byron, and tommy in a pack and i still was just a step behind them because everytime i tried to get up next to them they would pick it up a lot to get back ahead...so i just let them lead, cause i didn't mind. last half mile was all down hill and it ended on the track. this is where i made up for most of the time. last 600 meters or so i took off harder and ended pretty well.
ending pace was 5:17. close enough, and i still felt good at the end. rachel won on the girls side too, second week in a row we both took the gold :) |
